Amnesty International is launching a “Where Is Sombath?” photo campaign on Flickr.

Activists from around the world are asking the government of Laos to investigate the
disappearance of development worker Sombath Somphone, and we’ll do it through our voices, print, photos and more.

Take Action Now:

1. Please make a sign that says Where is Sombath?

2. Take a photo of yourself or a group holding the sign.

3. Email the photo.

NOTE: The photo should not be an attachment. Please put the whole photo into the email, no words necessary. You don’t need a subject line, but could use “photo” if you wish.

4. Go to the Where Is Sombath Flickr site and find your photo.
