Amnesty turns 25 in Poland

The Polish branch, although officially registered in June 1990, had been clandestinely active long before this, still in Communist times. In 2001 it initiated a Letter Writing Marathon which soon grew to be a major human rights initiative world-wide.

On the occasion of the anniversary Michał Owczarek spoke to the director of the Polish branch, Draginja Nadażdin, with a focus on local efforts, problems and achievements.

“In the context [of the anniversary] there is this reflection that our work brings really concrete results, but at the same time our work never ends,” Nadażdin said.
