It is better to light the candle than to cause the darkness.

Peter Benenson

Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 millions of people demanding human rights for all people – no matter who they are or where they are. We are the world’s largest grassroots human rights organization.

We are funded by members and people like you. We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. No government is beyond scrutiny. No situation is beyond hope.
