Amnesty International is a world-wide organisation campaigning to protect human rights. Our group at Uni has weekly meetings and does a range of human-rights related activities, including fundraising events, activism and awareness raising. Amnesty International is a global movement of over 2.2 million people in more than 150 countries who contribute their time, money and expertise to the promotion of human rights and international campaigning against some of the most serious violations, including imprisonment for beliefs or identity, torture and killings. Amnesty International does this by providing accurate, impartial information concerning human rights, and creating and mobilising a global community of human rights defenders to take effective action against human rights violations. Amnesty International has no political affiliation, endorses no political party, accepts no funds from governments or any political party. Amnesty International is impartial. It is independent of any government, political persuasion or religious creed. 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 protection of the human rights involved in each case, regardless of the ideology of the government, opposition forces or the beliefs of the individual.
