Yesterday was International Day of the Disappeared when we remember the tens of thousands of people around the world who have been subject to enforced disappearance. Sheffield Amnesty International organised a vigil to remember those people and to continue to seek justice for them and their families.
People came from as far as Liverpool and Newcastle to support the event. Special thanks to local Amnesty International groups and to the members of the Chilean community many of whom have experienced the loss of loved ones in such difficult circumstances. Their dignity and placards featuring hundreds of disappeared individuals served as a grim reminder as to why we should never forget.
