A high level mission from Amnesty International arrived in Sudan this week to examine the current human rights crisis in the Darfur region and to press for measures to end this human rights catastrophe. The mission includes AI's Secretary General, Irene Kahn, and the Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, Bill Schulz. The delegation has met with senior members of the government of Sudan and Sudanese non-governmental organizations and civil society as well as individuals in camps for internally displaced people. The delegation is part of AI's ongoing work to alleviate the crisis and end human rights abuses.
