Amnesty International 40th Anniversary (EDM109)

Amnesty International 40th Anniversary

EDM number 109 in 2001-02, proposed by Virginia Bottomley on 10/07/2001.

That this House notes the valuable work done by Amnesty International for 40 years since Peter Benenson appealed in The Observer for 'The Forgotten prisoners'; remembers the vital role of the media in exposing human rights violations and in ensuring that politicians, home and abroad, take notice; asks Her Majesty's Government and people of this country to help Amnesty International's campaign to stamp out torture; recognises that torture is still perpetuated in two-thirds of the world's countries and that people are often tortured because of who they are or for what they believe in rather than for information; and congratulates the winners of this year's Amnesty International UK Media Awards.

This motion has been signed by a total of 108 MPs.
