Small Places Tour Amnesty International Moldova

Small Places Tour is a world wide campaign of Amnesty International which is organized each year. The main idea consists in organizing a concert of Live music somewhere in your native town, with some bands that would accept it and promote Amnesty International as a human rights defending organization.

There can participate all kind of music groups and express their solidarity regarding certain problems. Even unknown groups, that are not so popular yet can also participate.

This time Amnesty International Moldova decided to continue this tradition and invited a lot of groups from Moldova to participate and stand up for human rights.
So, during the two weeks from December, 2008 there were held concerts in several clubs of Chisinau.

The groups were singing their songs and also sharing information about Amnesty International, about death penalty, Guantanamo and so on. During this we were gathering signatures from the people. Our main petition was on Closing Guantanamo which was addressed to Barack Obama.

It was a lot of fun and we did a great work! We gathered hundreds of signatures and the concerts were great. Thanks to all the participants and AI Moldova members.
