Amnesty apologises to JK Rowling’s sexual violence support centre Beira’s Place

In its apology Amnesty UK said: “This document should never have been published, and full responsibility for this error rests with Amnesty International UK.

“We have an ongoing internal investigation into how this briefing came to be published.”

The statement added that the “anti-rights” labelling did not represent Amnesty’s position as an institution, adding: “We apologise to Beira’s Place and other groups, which we categorised as gender critical organisations, which we should not have collectively labelled as anti-rights.”

Amnesty said the briefing fell “significantly short” of its standards, and an independent external review would be commissioned.

Another briefing entitled Like A Snowball, which also referenced a wide range of organisations, has also been taken down.

The apology concluded that Amnesty was committed to defending marginalised groups including “women, girls, and members of the trans community”.
