Ireland has achieved its one million signatures for the "Sign for
Human Rights" campaign launched by Amnesty International in
mid-October, Amnesty announced yesterday.
The Director of Amnesty International Irish Section, Ms Mary Lawlor,
said one million was the target set when the campaign was launched.
"When the campaign was officially closed by John Hume and An
Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, we had 930,000 signatures in but we knew
there were thousands more out there which had not yet been returned -
they have continued to flood in - and I expect when the absolute final
count is made, we will
have exceeded the million."
