Amnesty have been worse than useless in providing anything of substance in the cases of Martin and Marian and indeed the British muslims, they are in the pocket of the government therefore rendering them a pawn in their game,speaking out on issues well away from home and keeping stump about whats happening at home, the sound more like quisling Amnesty than a human rights organisation.

Gita Sahgal quit Amnesty because Cageprisoners' Moazzam Begg (the former Guatanamo detainee) supports the right of free speech for those labelled 'hate' preachers.

If only Amnesty had a decent position when it came to Irish republican prisoners.
