A WEEPING willow was planted to mark the fourth year of captivity for the prisoner of conscience adopted by the Palmers Green branch of Amnesty International.
Members of Amnesty gathered at the Triangle on Saturday to plant the tree for Dr May Win Myint, who was jailed by the government in Burma for attending a meeting of the United Democratic Party.
Several passers-by signed a petition calling for the 51-year-old doctor to be released from prison and others signed a motion calling for human rights to be upheld in Afghanistan.
The Palmers Green branch of Amnesty International meets monthly at the Burford Centre in Fox Lane.
Call Serena Wilson on 8411 5397 for information. The next meeting is at 7.45pm on Monday January 7.
