#5 amnesty has done a lot of good work on behalf of political prisoners over the years. Their bread and butter used to be writing letters on behalf of indiv political prisoners. Like lots of orgs that do good, their success and fame went to their heads enough that they make all kinds of statements beyond their area of expertise. They still have credibility on many matters however.

#6 LH, you still following the happenings in Sudan? Anything of note developing or are they still stuck with continued UN waffling and they're government not wanting UN involvement?

#8 Yeah, wake me up when AI gets on the UN's "Human Rights Council's" case. Having Syria, Libya, et al involved at all, much less serve as head of that Council speaks volumes.
