Welcome!

If you're interested in Human Rights, and as a human you should be, then this site will offer you some interesting information. 

Founded in 1961, Amnesty International is a grassroots activist organization whose one-million strong members are dedicated to freeing prisoners of conscience, to gaining fair trials for political prisoners, to ending torture and "disappearances", and to abolishing the death penalty throughout the world. In the past 40+ years 40,000+ Prisoners of Conscience have been freed.

Since it was founded in 1985, AI at ASU has worked to raise awareness of human rights issues on campus, and in the surrounding community. Activities have included letter writing, speakers, films, and human right's fairs. Actions as simple as writing letters have led to the release of numerous prisoners of conscience around the world.
