Open Letter from Hiwa's niece in Sheffield

Hiwa Butimar

Dear Amnesty International,

Can you please help us. My uncle is in prison for what he believes and I miss him a lot because when I was little he always looked after me like a dad. That’s because my dad was also in prison for what he believed too.
Once my dad was in prison for 12 month then 5 months, and a lot more times And it all adds up to more than 5 years. And I’m only 12 years old. I’ve lived with uncle Hiwa for half of my live I always called him dad and I love him as much as I love my real dad.
He is a good man he was working for a Green NGO. And I love him and I miss him so does my little brother, called Shiwan. He is 9 years old.
I hope that you can help us to get my uncle out of prison. Thank you very much.

Juwan (12) and Shiwan (9) Butimar, UK
