What does amnesty international do today?

Answer 1

Lobbying the Governments of nations that still use the death penalty to abolish it, taking up the cases of individuals whose death sentences are the result of flawed trials (which includes putting pressure on Governments to hold re-trials that would re-admit crucial evidence that may have been omitted, allowing forensic evidence to be used that could have a crucial influence, pointing out flaws in the person's trial, submitting petitions etc). and, in some cases, funding the legal representation of prisoners who are on trial for their lives to ensure that they get the best legal representation possible.

They also send observers to sit in at some trials to assess how free and fair they are.
