Amnesty launches tells new Labour government ‘a lot needs fixing’

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL launched an ad campaign featuring yellow and black hazard tape on the London Underground today, telling the government that “a lot needs fixing.”

The posters, set to run until the end of the month at Westminster station, also say that “human rights are the answer.”

A to-do list has been made by the group for the first 100 days of the new Labour government, which includes an immediate suspension of arms to Israel, addressing homelessness and the housing crisis, and a major overhaul of the asylum system.

Amnesty International UK chief executive Sacha Deshmukh said that the new government “has the opportunity to write an exciting new chapter for human rights” in Britain after “a period in which much damage was done.”

He said: “It was truly chilling to live through a time when human rights were simply legislated away so that the government could pursue its political policies.

“The new MPs should see that human rights are the answer, not the problem and send that message loud and clear to the government.”
