Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all.

Our supporters are outraged by human rights abuses but inspired by hope for a better world - so we work to improve human rights through campaigning and international solidarity.

We have more than 2.2 million members and subscribers in more than 150 countries and regions and we coordinate this support to act for justice on a wide range of issues.

Livewire is the new home of blogs produced by Amnesty International’s International Secretariat. It includes blogs from campaigning actions, from research missions, from high level meetings and events written by Amnesty International staff.
