We cannot stand by in silence while people’s lives and futures are destroyed.
No one seeking safety should have to risk death just to cross a border. Refugees fled bombs and persecution believing that other countries would respect their human rights, and offer them sanctuary. We cannot prove them wrong.
It’s time to take the refugee crisis personally.
Instead of tackling one of the worst humanitarian emergencies
of our time, our governments are closing their eyes and turning
away. Instead of finding solutions, they’re letting fear and racism
poison public debate.We cannot stand by in silence while people’s lives and futures are destroyed.

Hassan, Amnesty International's Director of Crisis Research, tells the
story of abuses committed against a group of refugees in just one day on

been separated, and the Amnesty International team must at once bear
witness to these abuses, report on the events globally, and do
everything they can to ensure that these families are reunited.
