Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million individuals who take injustice personally. They campaign for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all.

Funded by members and supporters, Amnesty International remains independent of any political ideology, economic interest, or religion. No government is beyond scrutiny, and no situation is beyond hope. Few would have predicted at the outset that torturers would become international outlaws, that most countries would abolish the death penalty, or that seemingly untouchable dictators would be held accountable for their crimes.
