This year, Amnesty International’s Yoga Day will be shining the spotlight on human rights and environmental defenders in province of Cabañas, El Salvador. Cabañas environmental and community activists have been killed and threatened for speaking out against the gold exploration activities of a Canadian company and for defending their right to protect their environment. As part of its work to protect the individuals in this community and express solidarity with them, Amnesty International is calling on all Yoga Day participants to take action by signing our messages of support on paper maple leaves, which will then be delivered to human rights and environmental groups in Cabañas later in the spring of 2010.
