A: No, Amnesty Internation does not support the Irish Republican Army. Amnesty International's mission is to monitor and report inhumane and illegal treatment of people throughout the world. The are apolitical and non-sectarian. The IRA on the other hand was considered to be a terrorist organization. While Amnesty International may object to the treatment of IRA prisoners, this should not be confused with supporting the IRA or any other cause. BTW, The action arm of the IRA has been disbanded and no longer exists.

During the Northern Ireland troubles Amnesty International never called for IRA terrorists to be brought to justice despite appalling IRA attacks where innocent people were burnt alive or deliberately crippled by IRA gunmen. Amnesty International may say they didn't support the IRA but why did they not call for IRA terrorists to be brought to justice? Public statements made by them at the time were concerned with the rights of terrorists. This can be verified by searching news archives from the troubles. Amnesty International need to tell the truth about their role in Northern Ireland.
