Amnesty Expresses Regret over Report Naming JK Rowling Centre as ‘Anti-Rights’
Amnesty said the briefing was removed after backlash from named groups and will stay offline during an internal review.
- Amnesty International UK removed an online report classifying 117 organizations as "anti-rights" over the weekend, citing failure to follow established internal review processes before publication.
- The document labeled Beira's Place—a women-only sexual assault support center founded by author JK Rowling—as "anti-rights," prompting Rowling to criticize the organization for suggesting some groups "don't deserve rights."
- Several other organizations, including For Women Scotland and Murray Blackburn Mackenzie, were also listed and demanded apologies for the report's "malicious characterisation" of their work.
- Amnesty International's International Secretariat distanced itself from the UK-based body on Monday, confirming it was not involved in the report's development and is awaiting the local review results.
- Uncertainty remains regarding the internal review's timeline, as the organization has not announced when the process will conclude or whether a revised version of the report will be released.
