Thanks to everyone who took part, you guys rock. Since the situation in HK is so fluid right now I thought it would be best that these get sent out as soon as possible. They’re being tweeted, and Milia has said she will post them to Facebook.
Reminder: There will be supporting rallies tomorrow on Library Hill and George Square.
Keep an eye on #DemocracyNowHK, #OccupyCentral and #UmbrellaRevolution

A big, hearty GU Amnesty welcome to everyone! It was great to see so many of you along; but apologies to everyone who had to sit on the floor. More chairs are in order for next week – although we borrowed several this week in fact!
We hope to see you throughout the year as we have some big plans! ๐

Well, we already had all the tea and cakes we could handle; but we needed some sunshine! Fortunately Glasgow delivered – and how! – with a glorious day.
Thanks to everyone who came along and shared their chat ๐ Photos below, and if you couldn’t join us physically yesterday, join us in sprit and send us or tweet us your own (Amnes)tea pics! I’ve done one to kick things off– scroll down to see!
And just so no-one feels awkward about being the first to send in a ‘Amnestea Selfie’, here’s mine:

Well, it may have rained and we may have had to have the picnic indoors, but we had a great time! There was vigorous debate, balance boards and – of course – loads of cakes! Thanks to everyone who came along and who baked or provided the food we enjoyed. We may do a second round of Amnestea, this time in the park, as the weather is looking better this week. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter as we’ll probably announce it at short notice. If you’re in Glasgow though please come along! ๐
Update: We did have a second round, and the weather was glorious!

These are coming up a little late, but here they are. Big thanks to Spootiskerry for kindly playing and calling for us! Thanks too to all the local businesses who provided excellent raffle prizes, and to everyone from STAR and Red Cross (and our guys – thanks Maisie!) for organising the evening. Everyone enjoyed the ceilidh, which these photos definitely show, it it was great to raise money for the vital Red Cross Tracing Service. You can find Spootiskerry on Facebook, check them out ๐

Thanks to everyone who took part in the #CongoPeace photo petition this evening. For those that missed what it’s about, I’ll give you the explanation Georgia sent:
We have an exciting action planned for the whole of Feb. Its a social-media photo campaign with the hashtag #CongoPeace. It is aimed to culminate on the 6th of March with a special conference at the UN focusing on resource exploitation and sexual violence, where our photos will be handed to to Special Envoys Feingold and Robinson, U.N. Special Representative Zainab Bangura and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power in a special book. Pretty incredible opportunity!!
If you didn’t get a chance to take part but would like to, you can email us the images or tweet us them @guamnesty — remember to include #CongoPeace!
Edit: Special thanks to Katie who did as suggested above took the effort to send us in the photo she took herself!

The orange jumpsuits finally arrived! We paraded around campus one quiet Wednesday afternoon to raise awareness of what’s going on: see Ellen’s recent post for more info. Click for larger versions.
Some more photos of setup, traipsing around:
It was also great to see the LGBT flag flying at the flagpole:
