Serj Tankian is fighting for the human rights. This is nothing new to the hardcore fans of him. So it is nothing surprising that he is an active, I might even say very active, member of Amnesty International.
To the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights AI started a big campaign, the Global Write - A - Thon Campaign.
Serj himself donated a song to that campaign: Fears.
You can listen to that song on
AI's siteTo the cause itself Serj told Amnesty International:
"Amnesty International's and its members' strengths have been the realization of the release of prisoners of conscience and the establishment of justice around the world where it is long overdue. The letter writing campaign has been a vital weapon in this regard.
It has kept hope alive for all those unjustly incarcerated and has also kept extra judicial governments in check, including our own."
