AMNESTY YOUTH GROUPS:
Justice For Dad
Tells the powerful human stories behind Amnesty International's campaign to close
Guantánamo Bay. In the accompanying lesson students can explore the case for and
against Guantánamo, form their own opinion and then tell Amnesty what they decide.
Over To You
Three Amnesty youth groups get creative campaigning across the UK. Computer heads
march through the streets of London, a Guantánamo jump-suited group stage a school
'take-over' in Edinburgh, and trafficked people for sale in shop windows bring
a town centre in Somerset to a standstill.
Human Rights Human Wrongs
A thought-provoking studio debate with young people discussing human rights and
Amnesty International with experienced campaigners.
