Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of ordinary people who work together to achieve extraordinary results. Each day we stand in solidarity with - and help protect - individuals and communities around the world whose human rights are under attack. We appeal for the violations to stop, and we mobilize public pressure to prevent human rights abuses from taking place.
Amnesty International is symbolized by a glowing candle circled in barbed wire. And for good reason. Governments and other groups who attack people’s dignity and freedom try to hide their oppression, keep it in the dark. They torture in isolated cells. They make people “disappear.” They attempt to impose silence through anonymous threats. Amnesty members - alongside many human rights defenders around the world - shine the light of public attention on these hidden abuses. We expose the truth.
This lj is for the University of Kentucky's Amnesty International student group. Group updates, online actions, and other information will be posted here. Our regular meeting time is 7 PM in the Student Organizations Center on campus.
