The powerful campaigns from Amnesty International

Over the years the organisation Amnesty has released some pretty powerful campaigns. Their focus has been on making government accountable for turning blind eyes to torture world wide. They have also campaigned heavily to bring about the abolition of the death penalty an archaic method of state sanctioned judicial punishment.
