Amnesty International

Whenever I hear the words Annesty International I am reminded of a world map they produced years ago with small icons depicting human rights abuses across the globe. It was on the notice board at Nudgee College Brisbane and what struck me as odd was there were no icons in the USSR, China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Africa or the Middle East. Plenty in Europe, The US and Australia though. The report is available here. Read it but it doesn’t contain much that hasn’t been said previously. I see the AmnestyUS site has a photo of Susan Sarandon pleading for funds to stop torture. Sarandon on Bush;
We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States.
Enough said.

  • Amnesty International was last year headed by a Libyan. That says it all!!!
    The Human Rights commission has just appointed Sudan to the fold, along with pioneers of human rights such as Zimbabwee and these inane organisations have the hide to condemn Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers..
    Next thing you know Milosovic will be the UN secretary General..

  • Amnesty are a pack of dickheads.
