Amnesty International: Shine a light on refugee bashing

Amnesty International USA

Amnesty has been working on the front lines of the Syria crisis since it erupted over four years ago.

  • We've sent crisis investigators into Syria to research human rights atrocities and we have released reports that have garnered widespread media coverage, calling attention to the severity of the conflict.
  • We've been working in Greece, Hungary and Jordan documenting treatment of refugees and inspecting detention centers.
  • We've been pressuring governments - like those of the Gulf States, the U.K., U.S. and Canada - to take in more refugees.
  • We have lobbied Congress to robustly support resettlement programs in other countries where over 80% of the global refugee population is currently housed.
