MP backs 'atrocity' contest for pupils

HIGH school pupils are invited to take part in a writing competition to learn about the atrocities in Darfur.

MP David Chaytor is backing the Right Words competition, launched by the Human Rights Watch London Network.

The Bury North backbencher said: "I hope that schools in Bury will consider taking part in this competition and that pupils' will use their talents to highlight the plight of the people of Darfur."

Some of the country's bestselling writers for teenagers are also backing the launch.

Winners will have their work published.
