EVENT DATE: JULY 12, 2008

Human rights leaders, activists and visual artists will gather on July 12th in Athens, Greece, near the historic grounds of the ancient Olympic Stadium to form a dramatic aerial art image that can only be seen from the sky.

Amnesty International has teamed up with Circle Up Now to create and document this inspiring experience that will also function as a "visual petition".

The aerial artwork, based upon the classic Greek image of two Olympians passing a baton, will not only serve as an artistic expression of the Olympic ideals, it will double as a potent reminder to the leaders of the International Olympic Committee that the Olympic Legacy should not be tarnished by host cities that violate basic human rights.
