How do they do it?

The ways in which they carry out their work taken from http://www.amnesty.org/en/who-we-are/faq:

All our campaigning and research is fact based. Among the many activities we carry out, we:

*send experts to talk with victims
*observe trials
*interview local officials
*liaise with human rights activists
*monitor global and local media
*publish detailed reports
*inform the news media
*publicize our concerns in documents, leaflets, posters, advertisements, newsletters and websites

We help stop human rights abuses by mobilizing the public to put pressure on governments, armed political groups, companies and intergovernmental bodies via:
*public demonstrations
*vigils
*letter-writing campaigns
*human rights education
*awareness-raising concerts
*direct lobbying
*targeted appeals
*email petitions and other online actions
*partnerships with local campaigning groups
*community activities
*co-operation with student groups

They get most of their information through people communicating with them and wanting help for their issues.
