Amnesty International Ghana is part of a global movement of over 10 million people standing up for human rights. We are a registered organisation in Ghana with Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) status, working to protect and promote the rights of everyone in Ghana, without discrimination. Our work is grounded in research, advocacy, and campaigning to hold governments and institutions accountable, challenge injustice, and bring about lasting change.

We are funded by members and people like you. We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. No government is beyond scrutiny. No situation is beyond hope. 

Amnesty International Ghana was established in the year 1973. We are a global movement of more than 10 million people in over 150 countries and territories who campaign to end abuses of human rights.

Close to 150 death row inmates languish in grim conditions in Ghana with only a fraction able to appeal their convictions, Amnesty International said today in a new report that calls on the country’s new government to abolish the death penalty once and for all.
