ABOUT Amnesty International
|
 |
|
• Amnesty International is one of the largest, most respected and most effective human rights organizations in the world.
• Our members – nearly three million worldwide and 70,000 in Canada - press governments and others with influence to protect people's freedom, dignity and fair treatment.
• In Canada, hundreds of Amnesty International school and community groups enable "ordinary" people to speak up for human rights.
• Amnesty International's power to bring about change depends on its political independence: funding comes from concerned individuals, not from governments.
• When human rights abuses take place, Amnesty International seeks out the truth, exposes it for the world to see, then creates public pressure to stop specific abuses against specific people.
• Within its wide-ranging work, Amnesty International seeks to free people imprisoned for the peaceful expression of their beliefs or identity; stop torture and abolish the death penalty; protect the safety of human rights activists, refugees and others at risk; and pressure international agencies to prevent human rights violations and bring perpetrators to justice.
Amnesty's charitable registration number is 11878 5914 RR0001. |
