The article includes an image with the caption "A summary of all critical press releases put out by Amnesty over the period 1995–1998", the image being of a textual list. The image was copied from an external document, and is used under the "fair use" provisions, partly on the basis that "no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information". But being a simply textual list, this is simply not true, as it could easily be recreated as a table in the article.

This entry states that all of Amnesty International's stated missions are Christian in nature or seem to be based on Christian principles. This, however, is not true. For example, Amnesty International works heavily on fighting discrimination against gays and the death penalty (the latter of which, those who believing in a literal interpretation of the Bible, support... "eye for an eye"). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Facio (talk)
God Bless Amnesty International
It's good that there are non-partisan organizations such as Amnesty International out there, fighting tyranny of all political stripes whether communist or fascist. They don't cover up the crimes of dictators just because of their political ideology --FreedomandLiberty 11:50, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

Free and Democratic Pakistan
Pakistan is not free and is certainly not democratic. While Musharaff is not as brutal as many other dictators in history, he still is a dictator. In addition, he doesn't control many parts of the country. Speaking poorly of Islam can turn you into a corpse in Pakistan because of the number of fundamentalists. It is a lie to call a country like that free --ChavezFan 16:46, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
