For most of its 65-year history, Amnesty International built its reputation by standing up for political prisoners across the globe. Now, the internationally recognized human rights organization has turned its attention in a very different direction.
Amnesty has published a new report declaring that human rights in the United Kingdom face a threat — not from authoritarian governments, but from groups that advocate on behalf of unborn babies and those who push back against transgender ideology and the broader LGBT agenda.
In the report, Amnesty labels these organizations as “anti-rights groups,” specifically calling out 25 pro-life organizations and 49 groups it describes as “gender critical” — a term used for those who oppose certain aspects of gender identity ideology.
The report signals a notable change in direction for an organization long associated with defending individuals imprisoned for their political or religious beliefs.
