Amnesty International is a
worldwide campaigning movement that works to promote all the human
rights enshrined in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights
and other international standards. In particular, Amnesty
International campaigns to free all prisoners of conscience;
ensure fair and prompt trials for political prisoners; abolish the
death penalty, torture and other cruel treatment of prisoners; end
political killings and "disappearances"; and oppose
human rights abuses by opposition groups.
Amnesty International has around a
million members and supporters in 162 countries and territories.
Activities range from public demonstrations to letter-writing,
from human rights education to fundraising concerts, from
individual appeals on a particular case to global campaigns on a
particular issue.
