Amnesty International
From Metapedia
Amnesty International (AI) is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that claims to promote human rights by supporting campaigns to free all prisoners of conscience; ensure fair and prompt trials for political prisoners; abolish the death penalty, torture, and other cruel treatment of prisoners; end political killings and forced "disappearances"; and oppose all human rights abuses, whether by governments or by opposition groups.
Founded in the United Kingdom in 1961, AI draws attention to human rights abuses and campaigns for compliance with international standards. It works to mobilize public opinion which exerts pressure on those who perpetrate abuses.
It was founded by Peter Benenson, a Jewish communist sympathizer who later converted to Roman Catholicism.
[edit] Opposition to Freedom of Speech
Amnesty International has often stated that the so called "hate speech" (by which they intend any criticism of races other than white, homosexuals and so on) should be persecuted. In fact "hate speech" is what is now seen by liberals as a form of opposition to their politics of mass immigration. Amnesty International seems so to support the mainstream policy of don't let them speak against political opposition.
