Re: Amnesty's Silence



Aren't national branches of Amnesty prevented from criticising policies of
their own governments? This could stop Amnesty UK from intervening on the
issue of sanctions - After all, the UK is the USA's chief partner in
crime. Amnesty had the same problem with IRA hunger strikers in the 80s.
