Urgent action needed in Turkey
Aleida | 22.06.2002 20:04
Police in western Turkey have threatened to kill some people, after they filed a complaint that three of them, including a five-year-old girl, had been tortured in custody.
Please I ask you to sign the petition of Amnesty International on their web site:

Take action! Let their know the World is watching!

AI won't destroy capitalism

However, signing petitions from Amnesty International to persuade capitalist governments and pressure them to not murder, torture and exploit is precisely what Amnesty International are about, and it is not only ineffective but illusory. Amnesty wanted capitalist counter-revolution in the Soviet Union on the grounds of "human rights" (precisely what the imperialists and capitalists wanted and precisely what they got, to the detriment and suffering of millions of workers), and they want it in China, Cuba and North Korea. Stalinist bureaucracies in deformed workers' states certainly torture and murder workers, but Amnesty International prop up the system of capitalism which kills hundreds of millions of people, the vast majority workers and minorities, annually.
Sign the petition and you will not only be wasting your time but you will be fostering the delusion that Amnesty International supports a free and truly democratic world, as well as continuing the illusion by so many that capitalism can somehow be reformed through pressure.
For workers' revolution! Amnesty International supports torture, oppression and exploitation!
