"After the Olympic Games, the fight for human rights must go on."Extremely powerful and moving ads from the advertising agency TBWA out of Paris, France and art director Philippe Taroux.

Third Amnesty. They seem to be picking up steam. Amazing ad by group DBB. Unsure if this is a one-shot ad, or if they are the new group behind Amensty International, responsible for all of the new advertisements that have been so well done. If not, kudos to the ad/marketing group. If so, this is starting to remind me of when Chiat/Day seemed to hit it's peak about 4 years ago.

"04.06.1989 In Memory of the Tiananmen Square Crackdown"Very strong ad for Amnesty International from the advertising agency DDB out of Copenhagen, Denmark and art director Gustaf Hultberger. Fantastic visuals and photography, well done.

This print advertisement for Amnesty International nicely delivers the message to the public. It was done for a 2007 concert. The ad agency was DDB, Hungary with Milos Ilic as Creative Director, Lukasz Brzozowski as Art Director and Copywriter. Photographer was Gabor Mate.

Press Release (25 April 2008) Amnesty International refutes statements made by the Ethiopian government on its report about a raid on the Al Hidya Mosque in Mogadishu on 19 April 2008. In the attack, Ethiopian forces killed at least 21 people, including 11 unarmed civilians inside the mosque, and detained at least 40 children and youths, aged 9 to 18. At least 10 others were killed by Ethiopian forces in the vicinity of the mosque.Reports released by the organization are based on several cross-checked, independent sources such as family members of victims, testimonies gathered at the location, including individuals present in the mosque while the killings took place, and local Amnesty International contacts.“Deliberately killing civilians is a war crime,” said Amnesty International.

By Andrew Cawthorne Reuters, NAIROBI (Apr 23 2008) - Amnesty International accused Ethiopian soldiers on Wednesday of killing 21 people, including an imam and several Islamic scholars, at a Mogadishu mosque and said seven of the victims had their throats slit.The rights group said the soldiers had also captured dozens of children during the raid on the Al Hidaaya mosque in the north of the Somali capital earlier this week during operations against Islamist insurgents.Ethiopia has thousands of soldiers in neighbouring Somalia to bolster a Western-backed government against rebels fighting an Iraq-style insurgency in the Horn of Africa nation.The Ethiopian and Somali governments have not responded publicly to accusations of atrocities at the mosque.

L'acqua che scende dall'alto è limpida. Un fiotto compatto. Inesorabile. Entra nella gola, stimola la faringe e il prigioniero ha la netta sensazione di annegare. A questo punto, non gli resta che implorare pietà. «Il terrore di morire - spiegano gli esperti - porta quasi immediatamente a chiedere che il trattamento abbia termine». Si chiama «waterboarding» (o annegamento simulato) ed è una delle tecniche più dure utilizzate negli interrogatori contro i presunti terroristi di Al Qaeda.

Torture and other human rights abuses are still widespread in Indonesia 10 years after the fall of dictator Suharto, Amnesty International says.Though the government ratified the UN Convention Against Torture and instituted key legal reforms after Suharto's demise, Amnesty receives reports of abuse "on a regular basis," according to a briefing paper by the rights group."As of early 2008, old and new national laws continue to offer inadequate safeguards to deter the use of torture and ill-treatment in all circumstances," the report says."This context of widespread use of torture and other ill-treatment is aggravated and supported by a pattern of impunity throughout the country, which can be perceived by perpetrators as giving them license to continue violating human rights."Indonesia News B

Today the human rights organisation Amnesty International has published the number of people in 2007 that were executed.At least 1,250 were killed, while over 3,340 are still waiting to recieve their death sentence.Top of the grim list was China, where 470 were executed.Then came Iran (317), followed by Saudi Arabia (143), Pakistan (135), and then the United States of America (42).Amnesty International UK Director Kate Allen said:Yet again China has executed more people than any country in the world and even now, in Olympics year, China is secretly executing people after unfair trials and alleged torture.Last year also saw the first ever UN resolution in favour of a global moratorium on executions. It was voted through by over 100 nations.Amnesty International blog on this topic

Bilal HusseinThe only problem with this bit of news is that the US military doesn't answer to the Iraqi judicial system. They can hold Bilal Hussein as long as they please. AP Photographer Granted Iraqi Amnesty By Robert H. Reid Associated Press BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi judicial committee has dismissed terrorism-related allegations against Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein and ordered him released nearly two years after he was detained by the U.S. military. Hussein, 36, remained in custody Wednesday at Camp Cropper, a U.S. detention facility near Baghdad's airport. A decision by a four-judge panel said Hussein's case falls under a new amnesty law. It ordered Iraqi courts to "cease legal proceedings" and ruled that Hussein should be "immediately" released unless other accusatio

David Cameron has weighed in to the London Mayoral contest by effectively trying to silence Boris Johnson, the Conservative contender, on matters of immigration. Johnson said that he thought it would benefit the capital if illegal migrants were offered a one-off pardon. Cameron thinks this would just let others think they can come into the country illegally leading to demands for further amnesties.Both sides have a point. The truth is, though, that we don't have total control over immigration now that the EU gets its 90 cents worth of nose-poking into the issue. Immigrants are required for our economy, because a lot of people won't work in the places and for the pay that the migrants are prepared to. The government is going some way to relieving the problem of unabated, unregulated immigra

Per Jon Swift, I learned that this weekend is the Second Annual Blogroll Amnesty Day. The first such day occured prior to my foray into the blogosphere, so it's not my place to explain the circumstances behind this event, other than to say that it is a day/weekend for left-of-center blogs to open their blogrolls up to all comers and give some blog-love to their smaller counterparts.In any event, the modest success I've had on this blog the last few months has been far more than I ever thought I'd have. Much of that success has been due to the liberal policies of other blogs, and to the surprising amount of blog-love they send my way by linking to my posts on a semi-frequent basis. Without their assistance, I doubt this blog would have ever gotten more than a few dozen hits a day.In particu

TV drama "Thank You" was honored with the 10th Special Media Award from Amnesty International. Starring Jang Hyuk and Gong Hyo-jin, the heart-warming drama was recognized for its frank, yet sensitive portrayal of a young AIDS patient and her family and friends.An Amnesty International official said that "Thank You" was chosen because it dealt with a touchy subject that had not been broached in other TV dramas and taught the audience to respect AIDS patients and other underprivileged members of our society."Thank You" was Jang Hyuk's first TV starring role following his controversial two-year military service. Jang fulfilled his military duty after being blasted for dodging draft by bribing military officials. His return to the TV screen proved to be successful, as he played a doctor who takes care of the young girl with AIDS and eventually falls in love with her single mother.source: KBS WORLDRelated Tags: Thank you/MBC drama/Jang Hyuk/Gong Hyo Jin/korean dramas/korean tv

Mashiach must definitely be on the way. A report from Amnesty International which accuses the Palestinians (both the good ones and the bad ones) of human rights violations! And even the BBC manages to write 8 paragraphs before it mentions that everything is Israel's fault.It is interesting to see that both the BBC and Amnesty are putting this report out just before Israel sit down with their 'moderate' peace partner to give away the coutry. Apparently even the 'moderates' are not all that nice really.If we have too much more reporting like this I'll know that they have all done teshuvah. Or I'll be sure that Mashiach is here.

The bill was passed under the guise of "protecting us from terrorism". In reality they're just eroding the protections that many people have fought and died for...

This blog focuses on home exchange and I try not to stray off topic too often. However, today is a special day for bloggers around the world, a day when many will be publishing posts about abuse in all it's terrible forms - from domestic violence, cruelty to animals, school bullying, prisoners detained without fair trials, in fact, to abuses of all kinds. This day, when bloggers are uniting to draw attention to abuse, came about from a call for joint action a few weeks ago on the discussion board of BlogCatalog, a social blog directory. Bloggers Against Abuse September 27th, 2007 snowballed as the idea was forwarded to many others in the vast blogging community worldwide. Every blogger will have their reasons for focusing on a particular form of abuse today, some no doubt from painful personal experiences, others from a concern for a local or widespread abuse that has particularly affected them.

When I first saw these ads, I didn’t know much about Amnesty International and their mission in the world. After some digging I’ve learned that the Amnesty focus on five key areas: Women’s Rights, Children’s Rights, Ending Torture and Execution, Rights of Refugees and Rights of Prisoners of Conscience. Their primary mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights. “In the name of ensuring stability and harmony in the country during the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese Government continues to detain and harass political activists, journalists, lawyers and human rights workers.

That of course is providing that they can prove that they have been in Britain for ten years, that they are fluent in the lingo, and that they have no criminal record!Anybody entering a country illegally is committing a crime and is entitled to a free membership of the "Illegal League" with immediate effect, and anyone who has managed to stay under the radar for ten years is going to have committed a lot of other crimes along the way. If they have a genuine reason for being in this country they would h

This relates to an earlier story about the dispute between Amnesty International and the Catholic Church. The Vatican urged Catholics to stop donating to Amnesty on the basis that Amnesty does not see the criminalization of women who choose to abort their pregnancy as a productive policy. Ms Gilmore, Amnesty’s Deputy Secretary General in an earlier interview stated: “We are saying broadly that to criminalise women’s management of their sexual reproductive right is the wrong answer.” The full response to the Vatican can be found here. In it they say: “Amnesty International’s position is not for abortion as a right but for women’s human rights to be free of fear, threat and coercion as they manage all consequences of rape and other grave human rights violations.” Amnesty chairman Paolo Pobbiati insisted its new position had been misinterpreted by Vatican: “It was partly inspired by our experience in Africa where soldiers rape women in communities they attack

Amnesty International (AI) has confirmed that it has dropped it’s neutral policy in regards to abortion and now supports access to abortion services as a human right. The pro-”lifers” aren’t happy about it. In fact, the right reverend Michael Evans has resigned because it’s not right when a human rights group quits being “neutral” about the rights of women. The Vatican has started it’s smear campaign and is threatening a worldwide boycott of AI. Of course, the Vatican isn’t as stupid as some of us like to believe or hope. The official policy is, more or less, to support the decriminalization of abortion and not much else from what I can tell from the press releases. The Vatican has to know due to it’s decades long assault on reproductive freedom for women that AI is going to find out that decriminalization isn’t good enough when you’re dealing with laws such as the ones in America. The fact of the matter is
