WHAT IS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL?

AI is a worldwide voluntary human 
rights movement that works impartially 
for the release of prisoners of conscience, 
fair trials for political prisoners and and 
end to torture, "disappearances", political 
killings and executions.  AI campaigns to 
stop anyone being returned to a country 
where they would be in danger of these 
abuses.  The organization is financed by 
its million plus members and supporters 
around the world and accepts no money 
from governments.
WHAT IS AMNESTY DOING IN MALTA?

 
 Every day thousands of people are mistreated due to their
beliefs.  They are arrested, or taken away from their families without explanation or cause and held as political prisoners, that is prisoners of conscience.  Sometimes they are held in secret, without trial, maybe even tortured or abused. 

Fortunately, with the increase in technological communications, it is difficult for these abuses to stay secrets for long.  The Amnesty International group at the University of Malta is sharing in a world wide effort to protect the rights of these individuals, by putting pressure on the officials in each particular case through letters and petitions.
