The
Thame group of Amnesty International meets at
8.00pm on the 4th Wednesday of every month (except
August and December) upstairs at The Sports Centre,
Lord Williams Lower School, Queen's Road, Thame.
Amnesty International is a worldwide human rights organisation which:
- seeks the release of Prisoners of Conscience (people imprisoned solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs)
- campaigns for fair and prompt trials for political prisoners
- and works for the abolition of torture and the death penalty in all cases.
|
The Thame group works for these aims by:
- writing letters to overseas governments
- fund-raising to support Amnesty's research and campaigning activities
- organising public meetings and publicity to raise awareness of Amnesty's concerns
- lobbying the UK government on related issues such as asylum seekers, links with other governments and the death penalty.
