I thank the people of Brighton and Hove for donating to Amnesty International's annual street collection.

The amount raised in Brighton on October 5 was £387.74; the amount in Hove on October 12 was £265.47. We have also received postal donations of £445.16, making the total £1,098.37.

The money collected is vital for our work against human rights abuses throughout the world.
