Amnesty International Annual Report 2014/2015

from Salil Shetty, Secretary General at Amnesty International
 "This has been a devastating year for those seeking to stand up for human rights and for those caught up in the suffering of war zones."
 "We must hope that, looking backward to 2014 in the years to come, what we lived through will be seen as an ultimate low point from which we rose up and created a better future."
 "Governments who have been most eager to speak out loudly on the failures of other governments have shown themselves reluctant to step forward and provide the essential assistance that refugees require."
 "Government leaders have justified horrific human rights violations by talking of the need to keep the country "safe". In reality, the opposite is the case."
