Amnestiy International
| In the UK we often take our human rights for granted - without realising that others don’t enjoy the same freedoms as we do. Amnesty International is the world’s largest and most influential human rights organisation. For over 45 years we have campaigned for the release of people imprisoned solely for their peacefully held beliefs, to end torture and to protect our universal human rights. In 2006, Amnesty reported on human rights violations in 153 countries. By promoting awareness of human rights through our education programmes and opposing abuses by campaigning and lobbying governments, Amnesty International gives ordinary people a voice in which to stand up for humanity and human rights and protect individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied. Amnesty International UK Charitable Trust is a registered charity no. 1051681. |
