Rowling's Rape Shelter Sends Amnesty International A Legal Retraction Demand

Beira's Place, the Edinburgh rape crisis charity Rowling backs, also wants a front-page apology and an outside probe into the report.

  • Amnesty UK's July 8 report, 'A growing threat,' branded three UK groups 'anti-rights organisations.'
  • The report cites Beira's Place's rule limiting its rape crisis service to biological women.
  • Rowling called the report proof of 'how far Amnesty has fallen.'

Why it matters: A group founded to defend rights now polices which victims are allowed to hold them.
