The Berlin Amnesty Group on Israel/Palestine is a volunteer initiative within Amnesty International. We raise awareness of the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory through various formats, such as film screenings, information booths, and signature campaigns.
In doing so, we refer, among other things, to the latest Amnesty investigations on apartheid and genocide, such as the 2022 report “Israel’s Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity” and the 2024 report “‘You Feel Like You Are Subhuman’: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza.”
We also support the Amnesty “Protect The Protest“ campaign and highlight restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly, particularly regarding the Palestine solidarity movement.
Through our individual case work and the collection of signatures, we also actively advocate for the release of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience—among them Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who was arrested by the Israeli military in Gaza on December 27, 2024—as well as for an end to the genocide in Gaza.
