Cambridge City AI What We DoAmnesty International is a worldwide organisation that supports human rights.
Amnesty operates by conducting detailed research into suspected human rights abuses, and then applying pressure to remedy the situation, through media coverage, letter-writing campaigns, lobbying governments, and similar activities.
Amnesty's work includes calling for:
- the release of prisoners of conscience
- fair trials for political prisoners
- an end to torture, extra-judicial executions, and "disappearances"
- the abolition of the death penalty.
See these concerns in action in the work of Cambridge local group's work on Burma, the Death Penalty, and urgent cases.
