Human rights news from Amnesty International

Dear supporter,

As the World Cup gets underway in South Africa, WIRE introduces you to Stand Up United: our team of 11 human rights defenders from around the world. They all have a common goal – equality, dignity and justice for all. Many of them have been intimidated or threatened, and sometimes even risk their lives to defend rights. But they are able to continue their work because they have supporters from all around the globe.
