of black activist in detention in South Africa we are all aware that something is wrong said Judith Brocklehurst author journalist and member of Amnesty International for the past five years Brocklehurst currently news reporter with the Bracebridge HeraldGazette told the more than 30 club members that although the judicial system of the par ticular country may say those things can happen that they may be perfectly legal there something is wrong Something has been violated which is more than just law something we might call natural justice she said Brocklehurst said every per son has right independent of all law and not to be taken away by law to freedom from torture and abuse right to fair and open trial to speak in his own defence and to call witnesses We know that he has the right to worship and believe and hold such political opinions as seem good to him though he has not the right to enforce his opinion on others nor pursue his political ends by violent means she said These very fundamental rights are what we call human rights and they transcend all nationalities and all laws and all nations subscribe to them FEW IMPLEMENT Although all member nations at the United Nations have subscribed to such philosophy through that bodys declaration of human rights few imple ment it fully Brocklehurst said But despite efforts by the UN and other international bodies the world is still without effi crent machinery to preven these violations of human rights or to protect victims she said The only force which has proven effective has been the awakened force of world opi nion which can become an im portant instrument of intema tional intervention in human rights crisis This is the fundamental belief upon which the work of Amnes ty International one of the worlds major human rights organizations has been found ed Brocklehurst said Founded in 1961 by British lawyer the organization was designed specifically to launch appeals on behalf of people caught in the machinery of power politics and imprisoned because they belonged to the wrong political party or religion or for having the wrong color skin she said These prisoners are often im prisoned for years because their release would not be poltically expedient she said and experience has shown that they are more frequently the victims of severe abuse than the normal violent criminal Brocklehurst said the organization today is an inter national one with over 100000 members in 78 countries There is something about human rights which transcends all geographic and political boundaries she said With members from all walks of life the organizations work is based on detailed and careful research Brocklehurst said and it is proud of its reputation for impartiality which has made it the most relied upon and most quoted authority in the world on human rights To maintain this impartiali ty she said it refuses to accept funding from any government or religious denomination she said Brocklehurst went on to ex plain how the organization functions by bombarding government and prison of ficials embassies and interna tional organizations with let ters pleading on behalf of prisoners and sometimes even sends it own fact finding mis sion to the country in question With an estimated 500000 prisoners of conscience detain ed around the world Amnesty Intemationals methods have sometimes been described as bandaid methods she said but it also has been called the light of small candle in very dark world Agent and Installer of flfiflIlf If to People McClure fears social indigestion By MARY

the affair Would you believe received more than dozen telephone calls from friends and relatives who were very disap pointed that the couple did not kiss at the altar after the minister said now pronounce you man and wife They felt as if they had been cheated out of something It so happens that our daughter and her fiance talked it over and decided they did not want to kiss publicly It was as simple as that Now am hearing in rather shrill tones that the nuptial kiss is traditional and it was letdown not to witness the intimate expression of mutual devotion What do you think about these comments Ann Enjoy You In Lincoln Neb Dear Lincoln The bride and groom have the right to decide whether or not they want to kiss at the altar My personal opinion is that the wedding kiss is warm and lovinggesture that helps break the tension created by nervousness Guests should not be critical however if the newlyweds decide against it Dear Ann Landers Your column seems to be getting into
