Amnesty International: Group 235

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Welcome to Amnesty International Group 235
in Whittier, California

The Whittier Group is presently working on impunity in Rwanda. Our action file is focused on a 15 year old girl who was orphaned in May, 1994, the result of the massacre at Nyamata Catholic Church, where hundreds of mainly Tutsi civilians were killed, including her family. Our group is participating with a booth at the Downey Street Faire for the 2nd year.

New members are always welcome!
 The group meets at 7:30 pm the last Tuesday of every month at the Whittier Presbyterian Church, located at 6030 S. El Rancho in Whittier.

Group 235 is one of many local affiliates of Amnesty International USA, which in turn is the United States national section of the worldwide Amnesty International movement. Founded in 1961, AI works impartially for the release of all prisoners of conscience, fair and prompt trials for political prisoners, and an end to torture and executions (for further information, see the brief history and description and the text of the Statute of AI).
