Explanation

Leading Indian women's rights activist, journalist and Head of Amnesty International's Gender Unit, Gita Sahgal, announced her decision to quit the organisation on April 9, 2010. Amnesty had suspended Sahgal in February 2010 after she criticized Amnesty for its high-profile associations with Moazzam Begg, former inmate at Guantanamo Bay, the director of a campaign group called Cageprisoners, whom she referred to as Britain's most famous supporter of the Taliban. Amnesty responded that she was not suspended for raising these issues internally.
