'We share our world, and we share responsibility for making it the kind of place we want to live in. This includes responsibility for protecting each others human rights and freedom' - Amnesty International.

Right now there are millions of displaced people around the world who have been forced to flee their homes. Instead of helping them, many countries are closing their borders in the name of national security. It is up to each of us as individuals how we want to treat each other. It is up to all of us to open our hearts and welcome people fleeing from war and persecution to our homes. Amnesty's campaign 'I welcome refugees', released in October 2016, aims to encourage all of us to make this personal commitment and simply say I welcome refugees.

This year, a few of the Killer Quines have decided to take part in the Run for Refugees organised by Amnesty International Society at the University of Aberdeen. We will be running 5K in order to raise money and awareness to this cause, so please help us out! Thanks!
