Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for human rights Their work is based on careful research and on the standards agreed by the international community They are independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion
Amnesty International was started in 1961 Its main goal is to help people who are put in prison only because of their race, their religion, or their beliefs For over four decades, Amnesty International has grown into the largest world organization for human rights with a global membership of more than one million people all over the world The main Amnesty International office is in London where people gather information about prisoners in over 100 countries They send this information to Amnesty groups in countries with different political systems The members start writing letters and send them to the governments that hold prisoners Each letter asks very politely that the prisoners be freed The governments know that the prisoners are not forgotten The world cares about them
Amnesty International works in other ways, too It helps the families of prisoners It writes reports on governments and prisons These reports are printed in newspapers Sometimes the organization sends a famous lawyer to attend a trial or to talk with important people in the governments Members of Amnesty International know this
is a way to take direct action to help other human beings
Trang 2So far, more than 40 thousand prisoners have been freed because of the work of Amnesty International Thousands of others have received better food, visits from their families, or medical care In 1977, Amnesty International received the Nobel Peace Prize It won the prize because thousands of ordinary people care enough about human rights to write letters The Amnesty International candle, a sign of light and hope, shines all over the world
