Description
Founded forty years ago in London by a radical lawyer, Peter Berenson, Amnesty International is now the most influential and respected non-governmental organisations in the world. Its story reflects changing attitudes to political prisoners and human rights issues throughout the first and third worlds. Always controversial, Amnesty continues to question orthodoxies. Its struggle to free political prisoners goes on but it also recognises the need to fight for human rights in whatever formthey are denied or abused.
