Investment Opportunity (AXcess News) New York - For those who believe Amnesty International is a non-partisan organization, perhaps a closer look at the organization's actions in Britain will provide some enlightenment.

Amnesty International An Iranian woman facing execution by stoning for adultery is believed to still be alive, even though the sentence was reportedly due to have been carried out on Tuesday 21 December. Hajieh Esmailvand's death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court last month. defendant is at risk of imminent execution by hanging. Amnesty International members have been faxing urgent appeals to the Iranian authorities, calling for the execution to be stopped, and the organisation believes there is still time for supporters to take action, to save Hajieh Esmailavand's life.

Banc Of America Investment Amnesty International is accusing British Prime MinisterTony Blair of undermining decades of British campaigning for international human rights by using the war on terror to give, what they call, a "green light" to torture.

Iran Focus Tehran, Iran, Oct. A top international human rights organisation condemned Iran on Thursday for handing down death sentences to minors and continuing to issue sentences of stoning to death. Amnesty International said that it was "outraged" at the sentences. "Iran has executed at least seven juvenile offenders in 2005 including two minors who were under 18 at the time of their execution", Amnesty said in a statement.

Banking Investment Amnesty is planning to initiate a global campaign against the British government as a result of ministers saying they would use information gained by torture to prevent attacks on the United Kingdom. The ministers, however, never said they condoned torture. They said that the use of torture by interrogators would not preclude them from using the information to save lives.

The legislation, which came into effect on February 28, month amnesty period for those not directly engaged in violence and a partial amnesty for those dissidents who were involved.

Investment Solution Strategic One Labour Party member of Parliament used the Amnesty allegations as an opportunity to strike out at the government after Ian Pearson, the Foreign Office minister responsible for human rights, said evidence or information that would prevent a terrorist attack would not be ignored merely because it was obtained as a result of torture by interrogators from another country.

– If you have already been living in the United States illegally, you may be eligible for amnesty. The United States issues green cards for those granted amnesty. Congress decides every so often that specific groups of persons should be granted amnesty. Because only certain people are eligible for amnesty, you should consult with an immigration lawyer to see if there are any amnesty opportunities currently available.

Investment Banking Services Many law enforcement officials believe this is only common sense. "Are we supposed to ignore information information that could save lives just because some interrogator from Jordan or other country used abusive techniques to get it? That's ridiculous," says a police chief whose superior supports the Amnesty International position.

Bank Investment Amnesty International is employing tactics it used in the past against dictators and dictatorships against British anti-terror laws at the forefront of the organization's global fight for human rights. It's over two million members are being urged to join a letter-writing campaign against Tony Blair and they hope to build an international consensus to oppose plans to deport terror suspects to countries that are suspected of using torture.

Alternative Investment Kate Allen of the United Kingdom's Amnesty office claims Britain's position posed one of the greatest threats to human rights in the West. She condemned Britain for requesting written agreements from other countries that would allow extradition of terrorist suspects. When representatives of Amnesty International were asked if they were monitoring the actions of terrorists or militants in countries such as the Sudan, they complained such questions were a smokescreen.

Online Investment Services Many observers have noticed that Amnesty International targets countries that are democracies with enormous freedoms, but it ignores the horrors that occur in rogue nations.

Accompany Essential Investment As part of its role in the global war on terrorism, the British government has signed agreements with Jordan and Libya. They are working to secure similar agreements with several other countries, especially those in the Middle East. Part of these agreements is a stipulation that terrorism suspects will not be mistreated.

Investment Company However, Amnesty and its supporters say that these deals are "not worth the paper they are written on" and undermine the global ban on torture.

Investment Management Solution Political observers believe Amnesty's campaign is designed to assist Britain's Labour Party, and is politically motivated rather than a result of real concerns of abusive tactics.
Their plans for a rally outside of Blair's 10 Downing Street residence smacks of politics, not human rights.

Investment Management Services "When we get to the situation where there is evidence that might prevent a future atrocity and we have suspicions that evidence might be obtained from torture, well I think we have to use that evidence. I don't think you can completely ignore what might turn out to be vital evidence that will save the lives of UK citizens," said a Blair supporter.

Guide Investment Stock In response to the Amnesty allegations, which are laced with hyperbole, Tony Blair stated, "Of course there are absolute rules that we have about torture, or about the death penalty for example ... I do not accept that the anti-terrorist measures that we have been introducing transgress that."
