About Amnesty International
Amnesty International UK work to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied.
As a global movement of over ten million people, Amnesty International is the world’s largest grassroots human rights organisation.
They investigate and expose abuses, educate and mobilise the public, and help transform societies to create a safer, more just world. They have received the Nobel Peace Prize for their life-saving work.
Amnesty International was first established in the month of July 1961 in London. Peter Benenson, an English labour lawyer was inspired to establish this organization after learning of two Portuguese students being imprisoned for seven years after “having drunk a toast to liberty.” Together with Eric Baker of the Religious Society of Friends, and numerous other intelligentsia, including academics, writers, and lawyers, they composed an article called “The Forgotten Prisoners” that would see publication in The Observer in May of 1961. This led to an appeal which quickly grew into an organization that would work to change the world and see that everyone would be entitled to a set of basic human rights.
