State Violence, Torture, and Political Prisonersdiscusses the activities of Amnesty International during the period of Brazil's dictatorship (1964-1985). During the dictatorship, Amnesty assisted political prisoners who were submitted to torture and helped to publicise charges of torture against agents of the military regime's repressive apparatus. Through a specific examination of Amnesty's work with Brazilian political prisoners, this book explores how Amnesty adapted its organisational principles - such as non-violence and the focus on individual cases - during this time. In 1967 Amnesty experienced a severe internal crisis which prompted the organisation to make structural changes. These changes enabled it to expand its activities beyond Europe to Latin America, including Brazil. This book examines one of Amnesty International's first major campaigns against torture and the impact this had on the organisation's development of a new agenda. Bringing a critical and historical perspective on Amnesty's work, the book contributes to the debate on the role of human rights organisations in addressing human rights abuses worldwide. It makes a significant contribution to international research on state crime, human rights, and torture. | State Violence Torture And Political Prisoners by Renata Meirelles, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
