It was not the understanding that every List member should send the same mail to a recipient. This could glut their mailbox and that is not the intention of the list. I thought the form was used only for people to add their names to it, and only one copy will to an organisation.
This method could be seen as an abuse of the internet by some organisation as this lady's letter shows. So, please let us stop sending the petitions until a less offensive way is found.

Subject: "Killing of Gambian Student protest" Spam/Mailbomb
Freedom2surf -- someone has put the webmaster address for the
Human Rights Web, which I maintain, on a mailing list for a
protest. This has resulted in my getting eighteen identical
email messages regarding this case, under different names and
ostensibly from different email addresses. :( The emails are
attached, and if you look at the headers, each one of them was
sent from your site, not from the sites in the email addresses
in the From: lines.
I suspect this was done through a CGI script on a web page,
since several emails have no name in the From: line whatsoever.
These emails were sent to most of the valid addresses at
Amnesty International, a number of other addresses belonging
to other human rights organizations, and contact addresses
at newspapers around the world. All eighteen =IDENTICAL=
messages were sent to all of these addresses.
I am one person, not in any way affiliated with the Gambian
government, and maintain one Web site about human rights. One
email is more than sufficient to make me aware of this situation.
What this protest has done is spam my mailbox. That wasn't
intelligent -- the protesters have probably done their cause
considerable harm, although (from what I know about Gambia)
their cause may be quite worthwhile.
Please determine what happened here and take the necessary
steps to stop it. Thank you!
Ebone -- I'm ccing this to you for your information, although
I suspect this was a badly planned and executed protest by some
customers of freedom2surf rather than anything intentionally
abusive.
Those of you who participated in this protest -- it isn't wise
to use a web form protest that automatically forwards a form
letter to email addresses, at least not if you don't intend to
harrass people. While I can see doing this to officials in
Gambia, it is NOT in your best interests or the best interests
of your cause to abuse the Internet in this fashion.
Thank you!

Country: Gambia
Comments: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your notice the tragic events that took place in The Republic of the Gambia on April 10th. and 11th., when security forces opened fire on unarmed student and civilian demonstrators killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross volunteer and journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a demonstration to protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student Ebrima Barry by Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school girl, Binta Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since been arrested and distraught parents do not know whether their children are among the dead or imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned citizen, to respectfully request you and your organization to keep pressure on the Government of The Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian security forces to halt all excessive use of force against civilians;
Release all the students currently under detention;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and circumstances surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found to have used excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully dealt with according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian security forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the deaths of their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible for the murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all security personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The Republic of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most urgent of matters, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your organization for your concern and continued support and promotion of human rights around the world.
Sincerely,
Alieu NJie

Comments: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your notice the tragic events that took place in The Republic of the Gambia on April 10th. and 11th., when security forces opened fire on unarmed student and civilian demonstrators killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross volunteer and journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a demonstration to protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student Ebrima Barry by Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school girl, Binta Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since been arrested and distraught parents do not know whether their children are among the dead or imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned citizen, to respectfully request you and your organization to keep pressure on the Government of The Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian security forces to halt all excessive use of force against civilians;
Release all the students currently under detention;
Release the names of those killed and release their bodies to their relatives for proper burial;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and circumstances surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found to have used excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully dealt with according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian security forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the deaths of their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible for the murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all security personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The Republic of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most urgent of matters, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your organization for your concern and continued support and promotion of human rights around the world.

Comments: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your notice the tragic events that took place in The Republic of the Gambia on April 10th. and 11th., when security forces opened fire on unarmed student and civilian demonstrators killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross volunteer and journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a demonstration to protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student Ebrima Barry by Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school girl, Binta Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since been arrested and distraught parents do not know whether their children are among the dead or imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned citizen, to respectfully request you and your organization to keep pressure on the Government of The Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian security forces to halt all excessive use of force against civilians;
Release all the students currently under detention;
Release the names of those killed and release their bodies to their relatives for proper burial;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and circumstances surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found to have used excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully dealt with according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian security forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the deaths of their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible for the murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all security personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The Republic of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most urgent of matters, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your organization for your concern and continued support and promotion of human rights around the world.
Sincerely,

Comments: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your notice the tragic events that took place in The Republic of the Gambia on April 10th. and 11th., when security forces opened fire on unarmed student and civilian demonstrators killing 14 people, including Omar Barrow, a Red Cross volunteer and journalist. These deaths occurred as students went on a demonstration to protest against the torture and murder of a fellow student Ebrima Barry by Fire Service personnel, and the rape of a 13-year old school girl, Binta Manneh, by a police officer. Hundreds of students have since been arrested and distraught parents do not know whether their children are among the dead or imprisoned.
I am writing as a concerned citizen, to respectfully request you and your organization to keep pressure on the Government of The Gambia to immediately:
Instruct the Gambian security forces to halt all excessive use of force against civilians;
Release all the students currently under detention;
Release the names of those killed and release their bodies to their relatives for proper burial;
Launch an independent enquiry into the shootings and circumstances surrounding it;
Ensure that all security personnel found to have used excessive force resulting in human rights abuses will be fully dealt with according to the provisions of the law;
Instruct the Gambian security forces to exercise maximum restraint towards students protesting the deaths of their friends and schoolmates;
Ensure that those responsible for the murder of Ebrima Barry and the rape of Binta Manneh are prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law without undue delay;
Ensure that all security personnel and the Gambian government abide by the constitution of The Republic of The Gambia and the international human rights standards enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10th., 1948.
While awaiting your kind co-operation and support in this most urgent of matters, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank you and your organization for your concern and continued support and promotion of human rights around the world.
Sincerely,
