Would you like to be part of a global movement of people who come together to defend human rights and dignity for all people wherever they live around the world?
We think everyone has the right to life, liberty and security, and that no one should be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
We work with people from all over the world to demand respect for human rights and to help protect those who are facing abuse, whether in their own homes, in their own countries or as refugees.
..To do this, we need people power. We campaign, conduct research and raise money for our work. We work together to promote a culture where human rights are embraced, valued and protected...We need you to join us!
Add us as your friend and spread the word.
Amnesty International Australia's vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments. Amnesty International is concerned solely with the impartial protection of human rights.
Anyone who wants to help us work on our new campaign: "to end internet repression in China".
China's latest method of internet censorship is aimed at silencing those who attempt to express their opinion through online video material. Help us bring about a new era of freedom of expression in China! Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right.
The Chinese Government made a commitment to improving human rights when they bid for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, promising to remove some of the tight controls currently restricting freedom of expression.
"By allowing Beijing to host the Games you will help in the development of human rights"
Liu Jingmin, Vice-President of Beijing Olympic Bid Committee, April 2001.
The Games kick off in August and human rights abuses in China are getting worse - not better. Join our campaign and keep up to date with what we're doing by subscribing to our newsletter now!
