A campaign of wanton destruction along the occupied Gaza Strip’s eastern perimeter.

Thousands of families have been forced from their homes and their land rendered uninhabitable. Read more: http://amn.st/6046WG4ha

In a world where human rights are under attack, it’s hard to define success. Amnesty International fights for the freedoms of all, for those at risk, for the voices that go unheard. Across continents, we stand together, forging alliances that defy borders, challenging governments that oppress and divide. Success is every step a collective stride. Through seeking justice our equality prevails.

Every day, people are executed and sentenced to death by the state as punishment for a variety of crimes – sometimes for acts that should not be criminalized. In some countries, it can be for drug-related offences, in others this cruel punishment is reserved for terrorism-related acts and murder.

Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception – regardless of who is accused, the nature or circumstances of the crime, guilt or innocence or method of execution.
