SubscribeAmnesty International was established to assist prisoners of conscience. In the Nobel Prize History it states: “The movement works for the release of women and men who have been arrested for their convictions, the colour of their skin, their ethnic origin or their faith – provided that they have not themselves used force or exhorted others to resort to violence.”
Sadly it has become yet another Institution established to combat undeniable wrongs that has expanded to become a pressure group for particular leftist interests. It is, of course, a disgrace that Amnesty International is concerning itself with the fate of a kidnapper torturer and killer, someone who would have fallen outside the ambit of the original organisation.
I used to have an Amnesty International credit card back in the day, but that was before the rot set in.
Slowly boiling in debt. Fat nations addicted to sugar. It seems sweet now, but heart-attack inflation will come back again. A government cannot get fit just by spending.
