In response to Zach Ingber’s ’15 column (“Not just another civil war,” Feb. 13) printed in The Herald: The Brown University Amnesty International Chapter is keenly aware of the silence on Syria — and it’s not only a contention on our campus. The calamity has sadly lost its pull in domestic media and on the international stage. The chapter has organized around the topic before: last spring’s “Crisis in Syria: The Way Forward,” held April 17 in collaboration with Janus Fellows. Proposals were also made last semester for another spring event entitled “Don’t Forget Syria,” which is currently in the planning stages. Ultimately, the chapter is always looking for more organizers and direct, informed appeals for action.
