Thousands of people are in prison because of their beliefs. Many are held without charge or trial. Torture and the death penalty are
widespread. In many countries men, women and children have "disappeared" after being taken into official custody. Still others
have been put to death without any pretence of legality: selected and killed by the governments and their agents. The protection of human rights is an international responsibility, transcending the boundaries of nations and ideologies. This is the fundamental belief upon
which the work of Amnesty International, an independent worldwide voluntary movement, is based. Amnesty International has an active worldwide membership with more than 1,100,000 individual members, subscribers and
supporters in over 160 countries and territories. The movement is open to anyone who supports its goals.
