Amnesty International

Amnesty International (AI) campaigns for human rights. It works for the release of individuals who are in prison & being tortured for their beliefs.

Their aim is to make available to all the human rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (and other international human rights standards).

They do research and take action to prevent and end abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights.

AI is independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion.

It does not support or oppose any government or political system, nor does it support or oppose the views of the victims whose rights it seeks to protect. It is concerned solely with the impartial protection of human rights.

This is a good organisation and anyone who could do should support the excellent work around the world that it does.
