Some Amnesty International Statistics
As of 31 May 1974 there were:
1,592 groups in 31 countries, an increase of 109 groups over 1973-74.
More than 70,000 individual members in 65 countries, an increase of 30,000 members and eight countries over 1973-74.
3,650 prisoners under adoption or investigation.
During the calendar year 1974:
2,458 new prisoners were taken up and 1,403 prisoners released, respective increases of 31% and 32% over 1973.
During 1974-75 Amnesty International:
Took action on violations of human rights in 107 countries.
Dispensed about £100,000 (US $240,000)* in relief to prisoners and their families.
Sent missions and observers to 31 countries.
Published three major reports, reprinted three other major reports and resumed publication of A Chronicle of Current Events.
Issued 50 news releases.
Held two expert seminars in connection with the Campaign for the Abolition of Torture and a major conference in New Delhi on AI development in Asia.
A rough approximation since groups often do not report all the money they send to their adopted prisoners and families.
