Amnesty International Hong Kong

Amnesty International started its campaign in 1961 with a newspaper article about two prisoners of conscience. More than 50 years later, even when Amnesty International is dealing with atrocities on a massive scale, it still tries to describe the lives and fates of individual victims in its reports. In this way, it aims to depict the individual human suffering that lies behind the headline statistics. Today, Amnesty International is the world’s largest human rights organisation, with a global network of members and supporters. At the latest count, there were more than 7 million members, supporters and subscribers in over 155 countries and territories in every region. Although they come from many different backgrounds and have widely differing political and religious beliefs, they are united by a determination to work for a world in which everyone enjoys human rights.
