This plus amnesty int’l (an imperial NGO) turning on Zelensky makes me think we are nearing a turning point in Ukraine.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if this was signed off at various levels in Amnesty, so there’s no individual to really lay the blame with.

      I wonder if this shows how a security state(s) can unleash the propaganda machine and lose control of the narrative. So any sign of retraction is more of a ‘Oh shit, we completely misjudged the public mood.’ They might have been expecting a more reasonable reception?

      At the same time, I doubt the people in Amnesty are at all involved in that propaganda machine. So more like, as you say, they’re ‘infiltrated’ and will likely be given a stern word.
