Amnesty International specifically works for:

• the release of prisoners of conscience--men, women and children imprisoned for their beliefs, color, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, language, or religion, provided they have neither used nor advocated violence;

• fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners;

• an end to torture, executions, political killings and "disappearances" in all cases.

Amnesty further investigates and reports on all other violations of the rights mentioned in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
