JK Rowling Blasts Amnesty International for Bullying Small Women's Rights Groups
The watchdog is assessing complaints after Amnesty removed a report that said Beira's Place and other women’s groups were anti-rights.
- LONDON: The Charity Commission began reviewing concerns about an Amnesty International report that branded Beira Place, a sexual violence support center founded by Rowling, as "anti-rights."
- Amnesty earlier this week claimed the briefing was "uploaded to our website without going through the established, internal review processes," stating the language used "does not reflect the position of Amnesty International."
- Beira Place lawyers sent a legal letter two days ago demanding an apology, as Rowling wrote that the attack "has left me burning with the kind of fury that mounts with every passing hour."
- Meghan Gallacher, the Scottish Conservative equalities spokeswoman, stated this "latest damning revelation is proof that this anti-feminist culture is embedded within Amnesty," with calls for leadership to step down.
- The Times suggested the charity presented gender critical campaigners as "anti-rights" in a previous May report, while findings noted four major British newspapers published nearly 17,000 articles on trans-related topics over five years.
