Today Amnesty has 2.2 million members in more than 150 countries. The center of Amnesty International is in U.K. and especially in London. After that Amnesty has different local groups in the same country and of course worldwide. Each group has its missions but all of them operate under the same strategy of Amnesty International.

The Secretary General is in Amnesty International in London. Secr. General and the Commission take the decisions about the strategy plans and the management of Amnesty. This time Irene Khan is the Secretary General of Amnesty International. She is the first woman, the first from Asia andthe first Muslim, who holds this hard position i the structure of Amnesty Int.

The most important events of Amnesty Inter. these days are:

  • Olympic Games in Beijing
  • Tibet
  • Stop Women Violence
  • Control Arms
  • Abolish death penalty

Amnesty International is trying all the time to be the last hope of the people worldwide. The prisoners of conscience holds the first place in the causes of Amnesty but there are also more than 4000cases. Amnesty operates like a world newspaper. It receives information for illegal prisons and trials and when Amnesty evaluates that this information is real, it starts a race with campaigns and actions with the help of its members to press the governments to take decisions for the protection of human rights.

Independence – Impartial – Neutral are the 3 basis of Amnesty International organization. They are the keys about its development.
