Amnesty International
is still a little shy about our
international social movement in favour of human
and environmental rights, but here are what seem to be AI's

protestors in nine different countries (dates are report dates and/or
event dates):

> In April, 63 people including nuns, students and human rights
> defenders were arrested during a peaceful demonstration calling
> for the cancellation of Kenya's foreign debt, organized by the
> Kenya Debt Relief Network Jubilee 2000 Campaign. They were
