In February 2011, newspaper stories in the UK revealed that Irene Khan had received a payment of £533,103 from Amnesty International following her resignation from the organization on 31 December 2009,[134] a fact pointed to from Amnesty’s records for the 20092010 financial year. The sum paid to her was more than four times her annual salary (£132,490).[134] The deputy secretary general, Kate Gilmore, who also resigned in December 2009, received an ex-gratia payment of £320,000.[134][135] Peter Pack, the chairman of Amnesty’s International Executive Committee (IEC), initially stated on 19 February 2011: “The payments to outgoing secretary general Irene Khan shown in the accounts of AI (Amnesty International) Ltd for the year ending 31 March 2010 include payments made as part of a confidential agreement between AI Ltd and Irene Khan”[135] and that “It is a term of this agreement that no further comment on it will be made by either party.”[134]
The payment and AI’s initial response to its leakage to the press led to considerable outcry. Philip Davies, the Conservative MP for Shipley, criticized the payments, telling the Daily Express: “I am sure people making donations to Amnesty, in the belief they are alleviating poverty, never dreamed they were subsidising a fat cat payout. This will disillusion many benefactors.”[135] On 21 February 2011, Peter Pack issued a further statement, in which he said that the payment was a “unique situation” that was “in the best interest of Amnesty’s work” and that there would be no repetition of it.[134] He stated that “the new secretary general, with the full support of the IEC, has initiated a process to review our employment policies and procedures to ensure that such a situation does not happen again.”[134] Pack also stated that Amnesty was “fully committed to applying all the resources that we receive from our millions of supporters to the fight for human rights”.[134]
On 25 February 2011, Pack sent a letter to Amnesty members and staff. In 2008, it stated, the IEC decided not to prolong Khan’s contract for a third term. In the following months, IEC discovered that due to British employment law, it had to choose between three options: offering Khan a third term; discontinuing her post and, in their judgement, risking legal consequences; or signing a confidential agreement and issuing a pay compensation.[136]
2019 Report on workplace bullying within Amnesty International
Main article: Criticism of Amnesty International § 2019 Bullying Report
In February 2019, Amnesty International’s management team offered to resign after an independent report found what it called a “toxic culture” of workplace bullying. Evidence of bullying, harassment, sexism and racism was uncovered after two 2018 suicides were investigated: that of 30-year Amnesty veteran Gaetan Mootoo in Paris in May 2018 (who left a note citing work pressures); and that of 28-year-old intern Rosalind McGregor in Geneva in July 2018.

I lived in Florida in the early 90’s and there was a very popular band called Dead German Tourists. It was from the news two to three times a week. Some idiot German would come out of the Airport in Miami, walk straight into the hood and get smoked 10 minutes into the country. Freakin idiots believe everything the TV says.
Fine by me. We don’t need any more turd world diseases flying in.
Actually the murder and crime rates have been cut nearly in half in the last generation.
Just the usual BS from amnesty international.
