From the time of Saro-Wiwa's death, I have been requesting Amnesty International Secretariat's financial statements. I have some doubts about this. Otherwise, UK's Inland Revenue certainly has a much more lax attitude than Revenue Canada, since here, just as in the US, AI must and does produce financial statements every year. I know how outrageous these questions seem to most people, but the fact remains that, by any standard, the situation is unacceptable. As far as I can see, AI has become a black box worst than the UN, if it's possible.
Nobody takes a close look at where the money goes and what kind of results the money gets.
The answer to this question is pretty hard to figure, and it's not my point for now. My only point is you don't send money to organizations that don't produce financial statements. That's not an extremist's attitude, that's common sense, a healthy start for a rejuvenation. Ask for AI International Secretariat's financial statements. Ask if Shell made any contribution in the recent years.
