Amnesty International is a human rights advocacy group known for their graphic, confrontational advertising. They don’t shy away from controversial subject matter.

A combination of metaphorical representations of guilt and strong, accusatory headlines condemn the American government for their failure to act, while calling the American people to action to stop the injustice of extraordinary rendition and torture.

Ads in high-profile magazines and newspapers like the New York Times and USA Today complimented an OOH campaign in the subways systems of New York City and Washington, DC.
