 [1] Amnesty is a world-wide volunteer organization funded entirely by subscriptions and
donations. It is totally independent of any government, political party, ideology, economic
interest or religious creed. It was set up In 1961, when a British lawyer Peter Benenson was
outraged about two Portuguese students , who were jailed just for raising a toast of bread to
freedom. He wrote an article in The Observer newspaper and launched a campaign that
provoked an incredible response. Reprinted in newspapers across the world, his call to
action sparked the idea that people everywhere can unite in solidarity for justice and
freedom. . 
[2] The organization works for the release of `Prisoners of Conscience'- men, women
and children imprisoned anywhere for their beliefs, colour, sex, ethnic origin, language or
religion. It also seeks fair and immediate trial for all political prisoners detained without
charge, and opposes torture and the degrading treatment of prisoners as well as the death
penalty. When it has proof that a person is a ‘Prisoner of conscience’, that person's case is
handed over to a local group. The local groups are ordinary individuals who believe in
Amnesty's work. They send letters to governments, embassies, leading newspapers and the
prisoner's family and friends. They also raise money to send medicine, food and clothing to
the prisoners and their families.
