Amnesty’s new video: ‘defy them’
Amnesty International has launched a hard-hitting online film about torture, showing activists intervening to prevent a torture victim being further abused.
The 90-second film, entitled ‘Defy them’ (available at www.amnesty.org.uk/defythem), initially depicts a person being subjected to a distressing form of partial-drowning torture similar to ‘waterboarding’.

Amnesty was beloved when they quite rightly attacked communist human right abuses.
Now they have the moral courage to highlight abuse from western democracies and their allies and they are put on the same side as Islamic terrorists.
The Cohenite right should hang their heads in shame.
Gev Pearce says:
“Amnesty was beloved when they quite rightly attacked communist human right abuses. Now they have the moral courage to highlight abuse from western democracies and their allies…”
From when Amnesty was launched in 1961, and ever since, it has criticised governments of east and west, north and south, left and right, wherever people are persecuted for their conscientiously-held opinions. It has always been critical of western governments just like any others. The fact that Amnesty is attacked, misrepresented, and rubbished by governments on all sides, from Australia to the USA, and from Nigeria to Sri Lanka to the Ukraine, means they must be getting it about right.
