Ely Amnesty group was set up in April 2009; this is us!

As one of the speakers at the inaugural meeting, we were privileged to have Bruce Kent, the veteran human rights campaigner and former general secretary of CND. To quote him:“Each of us is our brother’s keeper – by engaging in the struggle for human rights wherever they are under attack, you in Ely, will join the long list of heroes in the past, often little known, who have done the same. The name “Amnesty” today means hope to many worldwide who thought themselves abandoned.”

So we are preparing ourselves to be heroes!  There is still plenty of room for new people with energy, enthusiasm and innovative ideas to be involved.

There’s also plenty of room for the rest of us.

That may sound a bit cynical, but realistically, we’re all busy people, with many calls on our time and energy resources. However we would like to feel we can show a practical concern for human rights abuses and violations. We would like to make a difference. Do join us whatever you feel your commitment may be.
