  • ...and how many criminals have Amnesty ACTUALLY saved from execution through petitions?

  • Many

  • Comment removed

  • @DeepSixed300 A crime never excuses another crime.

  • @carlairving The action of a proper judiciary, following an established national judicial system, passed and upheld by the consent of the nation state's people is not, and never can be a crime. I know it is so difficult for some to accept, but the actions of a lawful, accountable and legitimate government operating entirely within its own borders can not be considered criminal.

  • @DeepSixed300 ... You know that by accepting this position, you are giving your consent to many genocides and ethnocides (against minorities) around the world?

    A state can make criminals, illegitimate, morally unacceptable actions, and they must be held accountable for it (which they sometimes are).

    For example, look at Nuremberg Trials, or the International Criminal Court.

    Than again, if you consider that killing someone is ethically justify, that's another story.

  • @carlairving I disagree, because your example of the NSDAP does not allign with the criteria I put forth. This is the deliberate breaking of legal statutes, not the killing of innocents who happen to be from a certain ethnic group.

  • in switzerland some human right activist lost thier swiss citizine ship just for asking for more rights for some minorities, where is amnesty??? just involvingin arabic countries and silent when human are treated like animals in the west

  • @noswisshate Definately not true. AI is mainly run by volunteers and works on all aspects of human rights. I personally have been involved with cases from the UK, USA and even Canada (amoungst others).

  • NO! live in a dictatorship it has it's perks

  • Freedom for Talysh, Tats, Lezgin & Kurs in Azerbaijan.

    REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN SUPRESSES ITS ETHNIC MINORITIES.

    FREEDOM FOR TALYSH & TATS FROM TURK AZERBAIJANI SUPRESSION.

    AZERBAIJAN IS TRYING TO TURKIFY ITS MINORITIES.

    We have right to keep our own language & culture.

    ASSIMILATION IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

  • Very unique idea. I was pleasantly surprised.

  • this isnt Bullet!

  • Amazing

  • epic!

  • Клипчег - ЖЕСТЬ!!!!!!!

  • So they put all those papers there and if they get enough there, it will slow down the bullet? Should I sign more than once? So many questions.

  • Very Good!

  • Great!

  • did they put a petition against saddam's execution ?

  • No, they just killed him.

  • Saddam Hussein wasn't exactly a prisoner of conscience.

  • No but they sent an observer to his trial and found that it was terribly flawed. Oh and by the way as a long member of AI I sent pleas to Saddam at the same time Don Rumsfeld shook his hand.

  • PS Amnesty International campaigns for the abolition of the death penalty so it really is irrelevant if he was a prisoner of consience or not.

  • @millertas i dont know why they want to abolish the death penalty, i think the worse punishment to have someone sit in a jail cell for the rest of their lives but thats me. but what about the criminals who dont feel any remorse have no sympathy toward the families of their victims for what they did? do they really deserve to live, do they really deserve the free food education and health care(depending on the country).

  • @dusty8512 Yes I have heard all those what if arguments. If you want to save money but be absolutely sure that you do not execute an innocent person then abolish the death penalty. Justice cost a lot. Those countries that have abolished the death penalty (including mine) have not experienced any real increase in crime. Yes I feel towards the victims but two wrongs don't make a right and the victim argument feels a little like revenge.

  • it is a terrible shame when an innocent person is excecuted, without a doubt. but when you look at some criminals do they really deserve the rights they have been given? what about the criminal who feels no remorse or sympathy dose it make sence to keep them in jail?

  • No remorse, who like Don Rumsfeld, Tony Blair, Dick Cheney? Seriously though rights are inalienable they cannot be taken away. If we kill then any hope to find out why some are so cruel to their fellow humans go with it. Justice is not about punishment, it is about prevention.

  • those 3 as big of idiots they are are not who i meant. SADDAME HUSIEN, SLOVEDAN MELCOVICH are two famous examples others are seriel killers rapeists

  • @dusty8512 Are I see so if someone on "our" side commits war crimes its okay. Did you know that most of Saddam Hussein's "crimes" occurred when he was our "friend" and we blindly looked the other way. Not too sure he was ever chared with rape though? You still can't see that the death penalty smacks of "revenge" and does not prevent crime of these nature.

  • your right the death penalty dose not prevent people from commiting crimes. but name a reason why people that commit crimes like ethnic cleansing or genocide. or serial killers rapeists or pedophiles deserve to keep their lives.

  • @dusty8512 Because we are civilised, because we believe in life, because we are human, because we know that the justice system can make a mistake, because the justice system is based on prevention, because we are better than those who murder. There are many reasons, these are just a few. Go to the Amnesty International website for more.

  • all good points but i still think some people dont deserve the life they were given

  • @dusty8512 Fair enough as long you don't say that you are moralistic, humanistic or christian then I can' call you hypocritical.

  • claps hands bring up religion good job how many religious books demand the violent death of homosexuals, cheating spouses, disobediant children or people who work on a certian day of the week? and since you brouth up christianity isnt there a verse that gose something like, dont suffer a witch to live

  • Nobody deserves to execute anyone either

  • @Firefox1201 so police officers should they be given weapons? im sure its terrible when they need to defend themselves and by extention do their job.

  • No they shouldn't been given weapons.

  • thats like saying there shouldnt be any crimes commited

  • @millertas ironic, killing is human nature, and have always been, so saying "we are human" would be wrong.

  • @vemund1144 So you justify murder. Criminals that kill justify their actions in the same way. You can also argue that rape, assault, child abuse, etc. are all "human nature". Interesting.

  • i think you are just being dumb now. it would be different if it was any other man, but we are talking about an insane mass murderer, who used to torture children.

  • @vemund1144 No I am not "dyumb". The justice system is about PREVENTION not punishment. Let me tell of one "Baby" Killer. Lindy Chamberlian who in 1980 killed her new born in her car then blaimed a dingo (Australian Native Dog). Later it was revealed that she was right. If you don't think that the justice system can get it wrong you've got rocks in your head. The Death Penalty just does not work.

  • oh my god, you are so dumb! we are not talking about a random women, we are talking about a world famous man, torturing his people!! its not something anyone can get wrong! the man is a sick bastard, and so are you, who defends him.

  • @vemund1144 No you are the one sucked by media demonising someone. Just like WMDs you have been sucked in by the popular media and government manipulation. Talking about torturing people, have you heard of Guantanamo Bay? Please be consistant in your outrage. Calling Hussein "a sick bastard" why not Don Rumsfeld or Dick Cheney who must have at least known the torture going on, if not ordered it. So if you want to talk about torture and bringing torturers to justice, go right ahead.

  • @millertas It cuts both ways. James Hanratty in the UK? Hanged in 1962 amidst protest from "the great and the good". Fashionable opinion in the decades after maintained that it was a miscarriage of justice and yet, in 2002, when the family lobbied for a pardon, the DNA evidence was re-examined using modern technology. The result? He had been guilty the entire time. The death penalty is not a debate that can be won outright; it is a matter of opinion.

  • @DeepSixed300 Let a hundred guilty men go free so that one innocent man is not wrongly convicted. That is one of the basis of our (British, Australian, etc.) justice system. You have to come up one hundred examples before I come up with one. Oh by the way, DNA is not a definitive science and it does deteriorate.

  • @millertas Your argument is irrelevant to your central argument: what is your evidence for the death penalty failing to work? Yes, indeed: DNA is in its infancy. But those that analysed it understood those possibilities far better than you do, I would imagine. Unless of course that is an assumption too far?

  • @DeepSixed300 It depends on your motivation for killing. If you want revenge, if you have little or no sense of humanity, if you believe in an eye for an eye then the death penalty is for you. DNA is not definitive and in trials they give the probablity that it doesn't match the person. The evidence that the death penalty doesn't work is there is no correlation between those nations that have it and their violent crime rate. It plainly has zero affect on crime.

  • i can think of 2 people in Canada who should have that long drop at the end of a short rope, Karla Hamolka and Paul Bernardo

  • Nice. Shame about the second bullet though...

  • Don't know much about symbolic jesters do you?

  • If you're wondering if i understand symobolism, yeah i get it. I was just making a bad joke. But what's "symbolic jesters?" Never heard about that before.

  • Bellissimo! Complimenti!!!

  • Das beste Video was ich in meinen Leben gesehen habe

  • That is a fantastically executed ad...no pun intended (really).

  • Hammer!

  • best ever ad!!!

  • with petition against death execution,so this advertised awesome............art of advertising.........if the human law want dissappear about death execution...........

  • nice advertising

  • the good advertise,I don't like death execution,you're life have god hand................

  • All over the world: People are shot

    or simply disappear; daily;

    Things' arn't the same everywhere

  • great advertising

    it is so clever and well made.

    powerfull

  • "when a woman gets pregnant, what comes out is NEVER a tomato or chicken or tree"

    hahahahahahaahaha I would love to see a woman give birth to a tree!!!!!

  • They need to test on mythbusters if a large amount of paper can actually stop a bullet. Until then, I won't believe it.

  • Depends on the calibre & the amount of paper. A thick phone directory will definitely stop a .22 round, but a .275, I doubt it. Two phone books -probably.

  • that means many paper form and so much time to save your life while you are suffering

  • Are human beings retarded or what?

    Am I brainwashed or these white people blatantly lying?

    If you are a neutral, please comment on this video

    for me, it's really obvious: Attention seeking and LYING (then replies that I am brainwashed)

    So much for "free speech" and "Truth" Imao

  • we dont even know if he is innocent or not...maybe he was a serial killer

  • AI, stop trying to save serial killers from being executed and go find some one who really needs your help.

  • why dont you go jump of a bridge

  • we dont even know if he is innocent or not...maybe he was a serial killer

  • everyone look's throught the world with rose coloured glasses, and everyone think's problem's are to big or someone else's responsability. if we took of the glasses and saw the little bit that we could do then the difference would be big.

  • i amnesty international is an amazing organisation as far as im concerned if they can save 1 inicent man from torture or the death penalty then it works, some people may disagree with some of their policys which is fine but if it wasnt for them people like gary tyler may still be on death row or even worse killed which would be cold blooded murder, they make sure peoples human rights are respected and carried out I SAY WELL DONE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK XXXX

  • amnesty international suffers from a lack of modulation. they believe that unborn children (that's what they are...when a woman gets pregnant, what comes out is NEVER a tomato or chicken or tree), deserve to die because someone decides to be irresponsible. and yet they scream and cry and tear out their hair to demand someone who has CHOSEN to kill and rape and maim,not be punished. live by the sword, die by the sword. tookie williams great example: look at harm he caused vs. good.

  • If you done a bad crime you should die. If you haven't committed a crime, you die anyway.

  • Why does the EU support TORTURE, ILLEGAL KILLING and FORCED LABOUR ?

    Convention for Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ( Treaty of Rome ).

    Article 15. Derogation (EXCEPTION) in time of emergency.

    Paragraph 2. No derogation from Article 2 ( Right to life ) EXCEPT in respect of deaths resulting from lawful acts of war, or from Articles 3 ( Torture ),4 (Slavery and Forced Labour) and 7 ( No Punishment Without Law ), shall be made under this provision.

    WHY ?

  • Abortion is treated like contraception by some scumbags. Ok i understand if a woman got raped etc, but that is a tiny percentage of abortions. Really is little excuse for getting pregnant, condom and the pill. If you cant use them then take it up the arse or dont fuck.

  • True, they are anti Israel

  • cool

  • Amnesty International is a political organisation that helps people who are tortured and punished for their beliefs around the world.

    Guy commented for Abortion (!!)

    Thanks Amnesty International for your activism.

    P.S. Guy commented for Abortion!! Dear you need a brain abortion!

  • Wait, let me get my bazooka.

  • Amnesty International is a nazi organization. Is supports intrauterine murder (abortion)

  • Do you even know what a NAZI is?

  • Actually, "Nazi" is a word used to designate people who believe that "firs class citizens" and "second class citizens" exist.

  • So how are they a "nazi organization?"

  • what a beautiful video

  • Amnesty International.What a joke, just another hobby for middle class lefties to have.I dont see amnesty requesting action to be taken to remove mugabe,kim jon il etc.I dont see amnesty in saudi arabia or iran helping women that are to be slowly hanged by a crain.I dont see amnesty in Nigeria taking kids off parents that subject them to torture or bury them alive for being "devils".Fuck off amnesty,you just get some people off the hook that you shouldnt.

  • Who do you see?

  • Well my point is that they are a worthless organisation

  • Amnesty International protects the rights of people who were usually but not always convicted of crimes that were stupid to begin with many people Amnesty international protects are people that were arrested just for expressing free speech and protesting against fascist government. how would you like to be shot in the face for saying bush sucks which i know we are all guilty of at one point or another.

    believe me i am a member of amnesty international and i am proud to be.

  • well done

  • Most people who get executed in many parts of the world for political reasons have only committed the "crime" of free speech, which is considered a right in the US.

  • How is Amnesty anti-Semetic?

  • its support for palestine,palestinian politics,and jailed hamas,plo prisoners is well known,,in the eyes of the liberal left anti semitism is the only acceptable form of racism

  • Just because you may see some value in the Palestinian point of view doesn't make you an anti-semite. I understand why the Palestinians are upset and I think that they have some legitimate claims. I also disagree with the terrorist tactics that many of the Palestinians employ. Things are almost never simply black and white.

  • Wow, you are really ignorant.

  • ignorant?,its not my head thats been filled with emotive,anti semetic and marxist claptrap,did you get brainwashed at uni,or at a later stage

  • You should support your statements with objective facts, otherwise it's only, as in this case, defametion based on prejudice. It's not worth a word more.

  • why do we kill people, who kill people, to show that killing people is wrong?

  • powerful

  • America disgusts me for still having death penalty. They're the only western country to still practising it, damn barbarians

  • wtf!!! i so love d effects!!!wuuhooo

  • I CARE TARANTO si schiera con Amnesty International contro la barbarie, crudeltà e primitivo agire degli uomini, che li vede comportarsi come "Caino".

  • kill the killers

  • What has that ever solved? It's been done for millions of years and what has it achieved? Nothing.

    Well, I say nothing.

    Perhaps more violence. Certainly not less.

    "Even the most vile murderer does not release the state from its obligation to respect dignity" --William J. Brennan, Jr., former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

  • > What has that ever solved?

    one less freeloader on the society ? or we can just send them to live with you.

  • Just say someone is found to be guilty of murder and recieves the death penalty. Shortly after they die, they find more evidence which shows that they were innocent. People have been sent to jail and later released after proving their innocence. But death is permanent. You can't say, "Oh, my mistake, here's your life back."

    If we kill the killers, are we really any better than them? Who are we to decide who has the right to live?

  • I couldn't agree more. So many people in the states for example have been wrongly convicted. Research has shown that often times caucasian witnesses misidentify black suspects and are in fact really bad at picking the actual assailant out of a line up. Morally I think there are cirumstances where the state has the right to execute but it is such an awful business even when justice has been served and a terrible opportunity for political abuse. Should we really entertain capital punishment?

  • would you rather have a few people dead, or thousands in jail rotting. execution sets an example.

  • Preferably I'd rather America gave everyone opportunity, as it merely professes to do.

    Giving *everyone* opportunity means no final and barbaric "cruel and unusual" (violative of the 8th Amdendment of the Constitution) punishment.

    E.g., why not just eliminate gun violence (i.e., eliminate guns) in your nation and try and teach kids to be tolerant and caring from a young age?

    Scandanavia shows it's possible.

    But regardless, even if it did deter -- which it doesn't -- it is wholly immoral.

  • if we ban guns (like drugs) law breakers would of course still have guns (again, like drugs) and what happens when someone with guns harms people because they dont have have self defense weapons. ok anyway.. im not even going to argue about death penalty.

  • Many other counties have banned firearms and they have much lower instances of death by firearm then the United States.

  • Such as...? Accidental deaths possibly, suicide by gun maybe, but violent crimes involving guns or murder? I could be wrong, but show a country that banned guns and the crime rate decreased vs. radically increasing?

  • Not really, its next to impossible to get hold of weapons in the UK, the few armed criminals we have have to resort to shotguns used for hunting or crappy air rifles. The few that use them always end up in a body bag thanks to armed response officers anyway.

    On the other hand gang culture is a lot more rampant in the US so idk.

  • Outlawing guns does not get rid of gun violence, look at Australian & how the violent crime rates increased after the ban went into effect.

  • Yes, it does set an example. That is the point it sets the example that it is ok to kill people.

  • no, its not ok to kill people. you dont see what i mean. MORE PEOPLE WOULD DIE IF WE DIDNT KILL THE KILLERS. ok. and about the guns, the US is different than other countries. first of all, there would be riots. then, there is NO WAY that guns would just be gone. we would have more gun violence, either from people robbing houses or cops killing people with guns, which is pretty much execution, isnt it?

  • You kill the killers you become a killer yourself.

  • well the way i see it, there are 2 options. a killer dies, or all the people he would kill die. you could put them in jail for life, but is that really any better? that is a fate worse than death.

  • So are we then executing that person based on their potential to kill and not on the actual crime they committed? If we are going to (hypothetically) execute a person based on a crime should it be for the crime they committed or the crimes they may potentially commit? There is a flaw in your argument. How can you argue to execute someone because of a crime they MAY commit? This is philosophy of punishment 101...

  • Death penalty doesn't reduce crime. Investing in education and improving social standards does though.

  • Great video! What would we do without Amnesty?

  • great vidoe

  • I have written many a letter and I wonder if my was the one that finally killed the bullet. Then again most were done via email.

  • Each of them contributes to kill the bullet, because each letter makes it a little bit slower.

    Sarozy, Bush, Hu, Deby or Mubarak do not care for one letter, but maybe they wake up, if lots of letters about a certain case arrive. Go on writing.

  • When New York abolished the death penalty some years ago, the murder rate was expected to climb. It sank!

    Texas executes the highest number of death penalties in the USA. And it's murder rate is higher than the average in the USA.

    So death penalty does not pay.

  • The USA is the only country in the world to openly admit they execute children.

  • That disgusting fact was sadly true until 2005, when the Roper v. Simmons holding that the death penalty was unconstitutional for crimes committed by those under the age of 18 at the time of the crime, was affirmed by the Supreme Court, overriding the 1988 Thompson v. Oklahoma decision outlawing executions of those under 16 at the time of the crime.

    Important point to bring up though!

  • Sir, that's Islamic Iran not USA!

  • Well, actually, shooting is kinder (of course capital punishment is always wrong regardless of remorse or lack thereof, the method of killing, and all other factors).

    Pancuronium bromide, the second drug of lethal injection, paralyzes the victim, causes extreme page; the paralysis prevents expression of such pain.

  • Quit waiting for someone else to clean up this mess. You are the solution. You are the revolution.

  • Murder is not the only crime that receives execution in most countries. Currently in Zimbabwe people are being abducted by ZANU-PF party members and tortured to death simply because they support MDC. In most retentionist countries confessions are obtained through torture as well and legal representation is limited. In Guantanamo Bay there is a 'secret evidence' clause that means suspects aren't even allowed to know the evidence against them. That's not fair or just!

  • What if the man to be executed was a mass murderer and torturer of children.

    What if the man were Stalin, or Hitler, or Pol Pot, of even Tony Blair.

    ..........Oh Yes Amnesty can play the high and might aloof game. But some people simply deserve a slow agonising death.

  • That's an ignorant viewpoint.

    Especially since you're using political figures who evidently had their reasons behind their actions as to why they committed such brutal mass-murders.

    Remember Hitler suicided. It is not our role to place judgement on others for their actions- we are not a supreme being of any sort simply because we are a collected society, and your viewpoint basically states that any man who has done something wrong according to their society deserves to be taken.

  • Oh shut up you liberal Nazi Fascist. I believe if a crime is severe enough that person should be punished with a severity to match. You will let child killers live in total bliss while their families are sentenced to a life sentence of misery. Your criminals.

  • You DO realise that the point of this video is that Amnesty does it's part to stop the deaths of men who are being killed for merely standing up in what they believe in.

    The rest of the world doesn't function in our society's ultimatum- those men who force children into child labour are merely stuck in the bigger cycle of poverty.

    "Child killers" is going to have to be on a term a bit more specific, because there are those who simply HAVE to kill children because of their circonstances.

  • Wendettaz you have no clue. In a lot of countries people are executed for changing your religion, adultery, having a partner of a different religion/culture, fraud, prostition, homosexuality, and simply speaking openly and freely. NOBODY in society has the right to decide who lives and dies - not murders and not flawed judiciaries. There's no credible evidence that it makes society safer and executions can cost tax payers more than life-without-parol, which is not living in "total bliss".

  • It has nothing to do with execution reduces crime. Kill one of my family then expect to be killed. What part of that position cant you hand wringers understand.

  • If your family members was killed, killing the killer will not change that. To denounce murder by committing murder is being a hypocrit. I can understand that families of victims are distraught but a worse punishment is life imprisonment. Why should the courts have the ultimate power to determine who should live and who should die? Who the fuck wants to live in a society that promotes state violence and murder and a judicial system based on retribution and eye-for-an-eye sentiment.

  • Yes, its called closure. Ask any parent who knows the murderer of their child will live out their existence in comfort surrounded by do gooding hand wringers.

    Revenge may not be pretty and it certainly wont appeal to your sensibilities but for some its the only way they can carry on with their life.

    You probably think Im a heartless cold miserable human being. Well, perhaps something in what I say is based on experience and until you experience something you cannot talk of it.

    (last comment)

  • the idea of this video is realy good

  • the inmate looks creepily like Johnny Frank Garrett!! creepy!

  • AI: standing up for the rights of child sex killers not to be executed around the world.

  • Amazing!

  • Interesting
