When Norway, in 2017, was the first country in the world to shut off their FM-radio-network, Amnesty International turned it back on, to broadcast its first distress signal since second world war.

The distress signal was a looped recording from the sister of Teodora Vasquez - a Salvadoran woman sentenced to 30 years in jail after suffering a stillbirth.

With the help of our own FM-receiver we managed to hijack the FM-radio-network. And the national media caught on at once.

But since our FM-receiver only had a radius of 8 km(5 miles), we decided to make it possible for people to help boost Tedora's distress signal.

With the help of two 24/7 LIVE streams of the same distress signal - one for Facebook and one for twitter - we made it possible for anyone to spread the signal by turning their Facebook or Twitter into a radio antenna.

Injustice happens when nobody is paying attention.

In El Salvador any form of abortion is prohibited and women are being sentenced as murders.

Teodora Vasquez had already been in prison for 10 years, serving a 30 year conviction after suffering a still birth.

Amnesty International are known for putting pressure on governments using petitions or pressure from the media, but had already tried several petition campaigns towards El Salvador. And medias attention were focused elsewhere than on a 10 year old human rights case.

In 2017 Norway was the first country in the world to shut down its FM-radio-network.

Every national news station was talking about it.

But no one was talking about Teodora Vasquez. And no one was listening to her sister.

Before Amnesty International hijacked the Norwegian FM-network, and gave this silenced media to someone no one was listening to.

This spot was playing in loop, 24/7, for 9 days on the shut down FM-radio-network in Norway:
