Welcome to the AI Derby and District Group website.

Our group is the local branch of a worldwide human rights organisation.  Our members are drawn from all walks of life.  To be a member of the group costs you nothing but your time and effort.

Check out the MEETINGS page For details about our regular monthly meetings in Derby,  Also,our DIARY OF EVENTS page contains details of what we are planning over the year. 

What we do

Amnesty International works for the release of prisoners of conscience, fair trials for political prisoners and an end to torture, extrajudicial executions, "disappearances" and the death penalty. To these ends local activists lobby, write letters, raise funds and raise awareness in the community.

Locally we raise awareness on international and national campaigns such as Stop Violence Against Women and Control Arms.  We have also chosen to focus on the Death Penalty, China and regional campaign of Central America.  More information about which can be found on the Amnesty UK website.
