28th May 1961



Today is the day when in 1961 Peter Benenson launched his campaign in the London Observer for the release of people who were imprisoned for the peaceful expression of their beliefs, what was to become Amnesty International. See here for the story and a short video from the Historical Association. Look at Amnesty's latest campaigns or join the school's Amnesty Society for more information.
