Amnesty brings arms control petition to city

AMNESTY International’s million faces petition comes to Limerick tomorrow week.

Amnesty activists are collecting photos and self-portraits as part of the group’s Control Arms campaign. The petition, which is being run in conjunction with Oxfam, will bring Amnesty members to the pavements of the city collecting photos, drawings and sketches of people.

The campaign, which is being run all over the world, is intended to send a global message to the world’s governments seeking an International Arms Trade Treaty.
