Henrique Couto-Viana (1912-1967)

Arrested and tortured by Portugal’s fascist secret police, PIDE, during WWII, my grandfather Henrique risked everything for justice. Working secretly with the Allies, he fought to push Portugal away from neutrality and toward opposing the Nazi atrocities. A humanist at heart, he believed that silence in the face of oppression was not an option—no matter the personal cost.

It is in his honour that I say: Free Palestine!

-Patricia 

 

Jane Ward

 

For many years Jane Ward was our beloved Tai Chi teacher at the Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre.  Her wise counsel and devotion to those of us in her class will always be with us.  When practising Tai Chi, it is always Jane’s voice and smile which is before us.

 

-Colette McNeil

 

Jane Ward (1948 – 2023)

Jane worked for and was a supporter of the Amnesty movement for over 50 years.

She was the Europe Researcher in the 1970s and later a senior member of the Secretary General’s staff at the International Secretariat, as well as a lifetime supporter of the Islington and Hackney Group. One of her colleagues wrote in tribute, she was “a warm, radiant and truly wonderful power for good.” As a tireless fund-raiser, she would have greatly appreciated all the many donations people have made in her honour.

David Benedictus (1938-2023)

David Benedictus was a dedicated supporter of Amnesty International throughout his life. His natural rebelliousness was off-set by his charm and charisma. He will be hugely missed, but will live on through his wonderful writing.

Dedication from his children - Chloe Benedictus, Leo Benedictus, Jessica Campbell, Jolyon Maugham

Marian Penny

My Aunt, Marian Penny who died in August 2023 at the age of 97, was an active supporter of Amnesty International, having been instrumental in the setting up of Blackburn branch. Marian spent her whole life working in and around children's services, and was actively involved in any number of charities working to improve the lot of the downtrodden, Bob Dylan's "countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse". A Quaker by faith, one of her friends said to me her view of activists was turned on its head when she met an energetic 80 year old  pensioner called Marian Penny. A calm, easy-natured good listener, Marian leaves a lot of holes in a lot of lives.

David Milner

In memory of my late friend and fellow academic, Professor David Milner. David was a very fine academic and author of the classic social psychology book, "Children and Race". For many years he campaigned for a better world. A donation for Amnesty International is a fitting way to remember such a committed scholar and much missed friend.

-Michael Billig

Susan Bunten 1952 - 2023

In memory of my wife Susan who was a rebel with a multitude of causes. She fought the good fight against injustices and persecution. A committed supporter of Amnesty, she will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

Annelie Bloomfield

In loving memory of Annelie Bloomfield,
My very good, generous and warm-hearted friend.
We will always think of you, Annelie.

- Renate and daughter Dagmar

Ann Bartles-Smith 1945-2023

In memory of Ann (Mum, Granny) and all the volunteering you did for, and with, the Shrewsbury branch.
You will be greatly missed by all of us.

Simon Phillips

In memory of Simon Phillips with love from his Book Group.

Jean Scott 

Hornsey & Wood Group remember with great fondness long-time member Jean Scott, who died on 30th March (2022) at nearly 90 years of age following a brief illness.

Jean had been a very active member of the Hornsey & Wood Green Group for more than 30 years and had served for many of those years as the group’s co-ordinator for North African Regional Action Network cases.

Having had to move out of London to Henley during the Covid lockdown, she continued to join our meetings via Zoom and indeed had attended our March meeting.  

She is very much missed.

David Robert Brown

My father David Robert Brown was a founder member of Grantham Amnesty International Group, and a member over several decades. Like his co-founder and wife, my late mother Ursula Brown, he had a great sensitivity to and aversion to violence. He could not bear the thought of torture, and he did what he could to rescue people from it. I am particularly happy to execute the bequest in my father’s will since my own husband was rescued from house arrest under the Greek Colonels’ dictatorship in the late 1960s, and he has ever after remained grateful to Amnesty. May its good work continue as long as it is needed. Catherine Brown
 

Chris

Dear Chris,

I will always have wonderful memories of our friendship. You will be greatly missed by all your friends.

Love,
Maureen

Michael Anthony Christopher Dixon 1951 -  2021

In memory of our brother Mike who loved teaching young children  showing them what fun learning could be and would always help out people who had less than him. His love of the outdoors of wild flowers and the birds in his garden, his love of music (opera especially) and poetry,  you will always be in our hearts, miss you.

Miles Spink 1951-2021

Thank you to all who have contributed to Amnesty International in memory of Miles. 
Miles a was a quiet man who, in the words of his friends knew who he was and knew what was right. The only clever way of living was to right injustice. Miles often felt he should have done more, when in fact, he had done much more than anyone else. Walked further, climbed higher or chosen the nicest present. As a teacher he was loved and remembered. He was truly loyal too. May the memories of what a truly unique, principled and inspirational man Miles was, continue to inspire courage and generosity of spirit.

 

Angela Chadwick, 1943-2020

Our beautiful Mum, Grandma, Great-Grandma and Friend. Angela was a long-standing member of Amnesty. She had a strong sense of social justice. We are happy to give this donation in her memory and we hope, as she would, that it is able to go some way towards improving the lot of others. 

June John, 1964-2021

In memory of a beloved mother, sister and dear friend who supported Amnesty International for many years.  Always a source of love, comfort and laughter to those who knew her, she will be missed dearly.

Toby W M Holroyd, 1971-1996

My youngest son, who died tragically a week after his 25th birthday. He was a  gentle, loving, thoughtful and funny young man, who cared deeply about social justice and human rights. He will always be remembered by his brothers and sisters, the wider family and all his many friends as a person who brightened up their lives.
"Once upon a time there was a young man, rough at the edges, but with stars in his eyes"

Michael Stokely

The Salisbury Amnesty group is very sad to record the death in June 2019 of one of its founder members, Michael Stokely. He has remained a stalwart supporter and contributed to meetings right up to lockdown. He was ‘in at the start’ and the group’s continuing success is due in no small part to his efforts. He will be sadly missed.

A supporter has posted a message on the Salisbury web site: 

“Michael was a wonderfully warm and empathetic human being. I knew him well outside Amnesty. But it was not until I came and lived here in Czech Republic, and married into a dissident family that I really appreciated the work that Amnesty had done. I took my mother in law to visit the Amnesty window in Salisbury Cathedral. She had been a Spokesperson for Charter 77 and imprisoned for her beliefs. She was amazed and touched by all those in Salisbury Amnesty who unknown to her had been thinking of her all those years. She stayed for the prayers for Prisoners of Conscience and a view of the Magna Carta that had so inspired them. A very moving visit.

So a tribute to Michael and all at Salisbury Amnesty from over here in lockdown Czech, we will keep a candle burning on our balcony tonight in memory.” 

 

Mdm. Meng

Mdm. Meng, never far from our thoughts, you have provided us with so many memories. In your name, and with the recognition to your Father's contribution, we pray for the release of Joshua Wang, and particularly Agnes Chow who appears to be suffering. 

While the tyranny of Beijing may seem overwhelming today, may the flame of freedom never be fully extinguished from the hearts of the people of Hong Kong. 

While our hearts are pure,
We will endure, 
With hope for a better future. 

- Your eternal UK team

Graham Whitford, Dec 2019

Graham was inspirational Chairman and a very generous donor to our group.  He was a lovely man and had a special rapport with young people, inspiring some of our local students to join the cause.

Graham was a genuinely good man, passionate, caring, excellent company...he wanted to speak up for those who were unable to speak for themselves. He will be sorely missed. 

Phillip Kenwyn Wearne, 1957 – 2018

Phillip was an energetic, passionate activist for social justice, humanity and human rights throughout his incredible life.

As a journalist, writer and campaigner, he championed the rights of refugees, political and religious prisoners, the oppressed and persecuted.

He is remembered with gratitude by everyone who benefitted from his vision, inspiration and compassion during his remarkable life.  A man who had so much to give and was giving so much when he left this world far, far too soon.

Phillip’s spirit, commitment and practical example will never be forgotten and will live on in the lives of those he mentored and motivated.

Ben Wetherall 1991 – 2018

In memory of my son Ben, taken so suddenly and much too young. Ben was a gentle and caring soul with a passion for the environment, politics and social justice. His endless kindness and compassion and his unique brand of logic, reason and tolerance will be missed by his family and all the friends who came to rely on his ability to empathise, soothe and give great advice. Ben was a global citizen, not motivated by money, possessions or traditional measures of success, but by the difference he could make in the world, particularly for young people. And he achieved that in so many ways. His many volunteering commitments once included the Amnesty bookshop in Brighton and we’re sure he would have approved of the many donations made to Amnesty in his memory.

Canon Leslie Virgo 1925 – 2013 

In memory of Leslie Virgo, priest, from his son Nick Virgo. 'As kingfishers catch fire' was Leslie's favourite poem and prayer.

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.

I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —
Christ — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.
By Gerard Manley Hopkins

Chris Ambrose 1949 - 2014

Gin I Was God

Weariet nae doot noo a' my darg was deen,
Deaved wi' the harps an' hymns oonendin' ringin',
Tired o’ the flockin’ angels hairse wi’ singin’,
To some clood-edge I'd daunder furth an', feth,
Look ower an' watch hoo things were gyaun aneth.
Syne, gin I saw hoo men I'd made mysel'
Had startit in to pooshan, sheet an' fell,
To reive an' rape, an' fairly mak' a hell
O' my braw birlin' Earth, – a hale week's wark –
I'd cast my coat again, rowe up my sark,
An', or they'd time to lench a second ark,
Tak' back my word an' sen' anither spate,
Droon oot the hale hypothec, dicht the sklate,
Own my mistak', an', aince I'd cleared the brod,
Start a'thing ower again, gin I was God.

Charles Murray

She understood well the key principles of Amnesty's work and the wider international context. She was also involved in many other local organisations and activities.

'Among the astonishing fragments of his life recounted by various friends at his wake was that he was one of the first Allied soldiers through the doors of Bergen-Belsen at the end of World War II, and as one of the few German speakers was involved in requisitioning supplies from local bakeries for distribution to the camp, arranging for nutritional experts to be drafted in, and dragooning local townspeople for a tour of the horrors committed in their name. His name is missing from historic accounts as he had lied about his age to join up and changed his name (he was Viennese by birth) because of anti-German sentiment.'
Rose Fluckinger and friends
