More than 120 students, faculty
and concerned citizens gathered
Saturday for the Amnesty International
1991 Carolinas Area Meeting
in the Russell House.
Founded in 1961, Amnesty International
has concerned themselves
with the freeing of political
prisoners, termed "prisoners of
conscience," and abolishing torture
and executions worldwide.
