It could scan people's Facebook Time line activity,

searching everything they've ever liked,

posted or written and then 'sentence' them!

No religious status? Being an atheist is

punishable! Group photos?

Unauthorised gatherings are punishable! Swear words?Yes, that's punishable too!

Objective:Illustrating that were it not for our good fortune

in living where we do, our lives could look very

different!

Amnesty International's own black and yellow identity

supplied a striking palette, providing visualisation of acts of

terrible violence with impact, while avoiding the grotesque.

It has already gathered global traction and

reached over 200 countries. Amnesty sections in

Sweden, Turkey, South Korea, Denmark

and Norway have requested translations of the

software.

New Zealand had to find a tangible way of bringing Amnesty's message home to everyday Kiwis.

They needed to enable people to

experience first-hand what it might be like to live

without basic human rights by talking to them in a

place where they're already engaged and freely sharing

in conversations. They had to make the charity accessible to more people and

find a way to communicate with them ina personal and

relatable way.
