	Amnesty International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amnesty International (commonly known as Amnesty or AI) is an international non-governmental organization with the stated purpose of promoting all the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international standards.
		Amnesty International was in particular a thorn in the side of the Soviet Union; they published detailed reports both of conditions in Soviet prisons and of how the Soviet political system as a whole was structured to prevent dissent and political freedom.
		Amnesty International has followed a neutrality policy called the "own country rule" stating that members should not be active in issues in their own nation, which also protects them from potential mistreatment by their own government.

	Leonard Peltier Case \| Amnesty International USA: Appeal for the Release of Leonard Peltier
		Although Amnesty International has not adopted Leonard Peltier as a prisoner of conscience, the organization remains concerned about the fairness of the proceedings leading to his conviction and believes that political factors may have influenced the way in which the case was prosecuted.
		However, Amnesty International believes that the doubts which have been raised about Peltier's role in the actual killings of the agents undermine the whole case against him, as "proof" that he was the actual killer was a key element in the prosecution's case at the trial.
		Amnesty International's concerns about various aspects of the case are outlined in a letter to the US Attorney General dated 23 June 1995, which is also attached to this action.

	USA: Pattern of brutality and cruelty -- war crimes at Abu Ghraib - news.amnesty - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Former Guantánamo detainee Wazir Mohammad told Amnesty International of excessive and cruel use of shackles and handcuffs, sleep deprivation, and of being forced to crawl on his knees from his cell to the interrogation room during his detention in Afghanistan.
		Amnesty International is concerned that the investigation headed by Major General Antonio Taguba, which found "systematic and illegal abuse of detainees" in Abu Ghraib, was not intended for public release, and that the administration’s current response only came once the report and photographic evidence became public.
		Amnesty International calls on President Bush to ensure impartial and transparent investigations into torture and deaths in US custody and that anyone found responsible be brought to justice.

	What is Amnesty International? - 2
		Amnesty International aims to give attention to all the forgotten prisoners, to ensure that they remain a public concern and that they are cared for individually, while the efforts to free them are underway.
		Amnesty International, however, concentrates on people who have been jailed or otherwise forcibly restricted; people in prison, people in official custody and detention centres, people under strict house arrest or confined to a village, or others whose freedom of movement has been so severely restricted as to amount to a form of detention.
		Amnesty International adopts as prisoners of conscience people who have been imprisoned for trying to exercise this right when their motives for wanting to leave their country are linked to their political views, religious beliefs or their origins, or can be assumed to be.

		During a mission to Zimbabwe in February 2005, Amnesty International researchers gathered evidence of government intimidation and arbitrary arrest of opposition candidates and supporters, manipulation of food distribution for political ends and severe restrictions of freedom of assembly and expression in the period prior to the March 2005 parliamentary elections.
		Amnesty International concluded that as a result of persistent, long-term and systemic violations of human rights and the government's repeated and deliberate failure to bring to justice those who commit serious human rights violations, not all people in Zimbabwe could participate in the election process freely and without fear.
		Since 2002 millions of Zimbabweans have been dependent on local and international food aid programs: tens of thousands however are reported to have gone hungry, unable to gain access to food for a variety of reasons.

		Amnesty International (AI) is committed to upholding the right of every person to physical integrity.
		The London Declaration, adopted by AI on 21 May 1995, calls for the abolition of 'cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment' and urges professional associations 'to investigate and act upon all reports of human rights abuses by health professionals'.
		I expected that Amnesty International would be interested in reviewing the human rights aspects of this study, since circumcision is not a medically required procedure for male infants, and Amnesty has taken a stand against medically unnecessary operations on girls.
