An official Amnesty International video that they screened at the AIUK AGM meeting 2006. Some amazing footage and a really motivating video - I got a copy to show my Amnesty youth group at our meeting and it really inspired them to get active. I have decided to share it as it is amazing viewing, and I think it will spark the imagination and enthusiasm of most audiences.
Rest in peace Peter Benenson.
NB: A lot of people have been asking how they can download this video... I might get in trouble for this, but go to http://www.viloader.net and convert this video into a Flash file which you can download to your computer. Then use the free software 'iSquint' (Google it) to convert it to a QuickTime file. You can download any Youtube video this way, but you need to use a Mac to do it. I didn't tell you how to do this, shhhh. Please use this video wisely - I do not own the Copyright to it, but if it is used to advertise and raise awareness of Amnesty International and human rights abuses then I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

CNN's Lou Dobbs discusses how the American Taxpayer will be required to pay for services to illegal aliens that are not even available to US Citizens. Aired on 22 May 2007.
Policy expert Robert Rector describes how the Bush/Kennedy/McCain amnesty for illegal aliens scheme will result in more than 100 million additional immigrants to the United States within just 20 years.
Obama campaigned on pushing amnesty so please call Congress--the battle will be back and we must rally the same tidal wave of opposition as successfully defeated amnesty every time it has been brought up for a vote. Tell your friends!
Mr. Rector is the person who did the research and discovered the shocking facts about the amnesty bill which began the massive citizen opposition to any form of amnesty, guest worker program, 'pathway to citizenship,' or other means for promoting massive immigration. Immigrants under these bills could bring in their extended familes to take advantage of welfare, medicare and other government programs.
Americans made it clear they want a full 2,300 mile fence and a stop to all illegal immigration. The Bush policy of allowing virtually unlimited border crossings and pushing for amnesty is related to the greater agenda of merging America, Mexico, and Canada into one giant Socialist "North American Union"--see our video on the NAU here at TCCTV on YouTube.

Une vidéo résumant ce que Amnesty International a relevé pour l'année 2006, à l'occasion de la parution du rapport annuel de l'association.

"La politique de la peur a dominé l'année 2006. Des dirigeants sans principes ont délibérément manipulé les inquiétudes pour susciter des divisions, réprimer l'opposition et éviter d'avoir à rendre des comptes. Des gouvernements ont entretenu un climat d'intolérance propice aux conflits et aux exactions, créant un véritable espace de non-droit que des entreprises et des groupes armés ont exploité à leurs propres fins.
Le Rapport 2007 d'Amnesty International rend compte de la situation des droits humains dans 153 pays et territoires en 2006. Il donne à voir un monde ravagé par les conflits armés, la répression et la discrimination, où des femmes sont perpétuellement exposées à la violence et où des populations entières affrontent la pauvreté et l'exclusion sociale. Il salue par ailleurs les succès majeurs de militants qui, partout, luttent contre ces violences et contre l'impunité.
Le mouvement de défense des droits humains dresse un rempart contre la peur. Il prône l'unité face à la division, la solidarité face aux intérêts égoïstes, et l'espérance face au désespoir. Il se fonde sur l'engagement et la collaboration de personnes issues de différentes cultures, religions ou convictions, mais que rassemblent la certitude que toute solution pérenne doit s'ancrer solidement dans les droits humains et leur détermination à défendre ces droits pour tous.
