Campaign against torture

  • By Alexander Colhoun

| WASHINGTON

Amnesty International launched a year-long, global campaign to stop torture yesterday. New research on torture practices around the world and a fast-response Internet action network to protest torture were unveiled.

Amnesty's Fast Action Stops Torture (FAST) network will allow activists to inundate torturers with thousands of e-mail messages within hours of receiving an e-mail or cellular-phone alert from Amnesty that someone is at risk of torture. The FAST network is accessible at www.amnestyusa.org.

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
