One of Amnesty International's adverts in the London Underground, July 11, 2024
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.
