Amnesty International's 2003 report
Amnesty International recently released its 2003 Report, which "documents human rights abuses in 151 countries and territories during 2002" and "is a contribution to the work of human rights defenders struggling to achieve a safer world, a world where human rights take priority over political, military or economic interests." Those interested will find summaries of human rights situations around the world and Amnesty International's specific concerns in each. Although the full report must be ordered for a small charge, the Web site contains a significant amount of information including a message from the Secretary General, a 2002 "in focus" a
description of Amnesty's activities, news stories, multimedia products, regional summaries, and information on each nation's specific activities.

Weekly "blog"
The post above actually came from a blog-like e-mail that's been sent weekly since before Blogs were a gleam in David Winer's eye from The Scout Report listserv, part of the Internet Scout Project at the University of Wisconsin. I've been getting it for years and always find at least one link I want to pursue.
