Wire is Amnesty International's bi-monthly information and action-zine for all international members. It offers opportunities to take action in support of Amnesty International campaigns, summarizes key pieces of research, provides regular World Wide Appeals on individuals at risk, and interviews with human rights defenders.

This issue of WIRE covers the Democratic Republic of the Congo marking its 50th anniversary this year; WIRE considering the future of human rights in this war-torn country; Brazil’s Indigenous communities being pushed out of their lands and into poverty; families of victims of enforced disappearance fighting for justice; why Amnesty International objects to the ban on the full-face veil; and much more up-to-date research.
