Working with Amnesty International, I can be a life-line to someone being tortured. All of us have the capacity to help. Peter Gabriel 'The aims of Amnesty International are clear: the release of prisoners of conscience; the right to a fair trial for all political prisoners; an end to torture and the death penalty. The means of achieving these goals are not always so clear.
