Download the petition, collect as many signatures as you can, and post it back.
This page is for the NRT petition on the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. It's pretty basic, but I'm in a hurry. I want to get this done and presented by the end of the month, in time for the Day of the Disappeared on August 30th - which means presenting it to Parliament on Thursday the 28th. This sets an extremely tight deadline. Please ensure your signatures are in the post by August 24th, to
NRT Disappearance Convention Petition
11 Palm Grove
Lower Hutt
Updates will be posted throughout the month as signatures arrive, or if there is media coverage.
If you have any questions, email nrtpetition@gmail.com.
This quick and dirty petition campaign was brough to you by No Right Turn - New Zealand's liberal blog.
