Amnesty International

Presenter: Libby Jeffry

In 1989, a Colombian lawyer was arrested at home by security forces. He managed to shout “Call Amnesty! Call Amnesty!” before he was taken away. With over 3 million members, Amnesty International is the world’s largest human rights movement. Backed by the organization's research teams, members of Amnesty International are empowered to take action and support those who are facing violations that are unfounded, based on the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. Find out what happened next to this lawyer. How has Amnesty International changed (or saved) lives? What campaigns are currently under way?
