Peter Benenson

Forever you live through the light of knowledge you shared in the intellect of Virginia Triumphant College & Seminary - the University of the Highest Learning.

Ironically, I learned of Peter Benenson through a song written by the artists of Nickelback. I am profoundly moved by people such as Benenson that take on a cause for the betterment of all, even when the task seems imsurmountable. Thank God there are people who never heard the words "give up" or "hopeless".

I am just a teenager that is researching Amnesty International for my history class, but I cannot help but feel overwhelmed with saddness at knowing that this wonderful man is no longer on this Earth. I am sincerely sorry for everyone's loss. From what I have read of Peter Benenson, he was a great man and left a legacy unlike that of anyone else that has ever lived.

What a wonderful legacy Peter has left. Achievements in the release of thousands of political prisoners, but also inspiration to many thousands of tireless activists working for greater freedom, all over the globe. Much of this work is "behind the scenes", but is fruitful and effective.



Let's resolve to continue Peter's good work: he invented the tools that many groups are using worldwide.



Thank you Peter.

A co-worker is just one of countless thousands who was greatly helped by Amnesty International. God Bless Peter Benenson for his selfless works. May he rest in peace.

I send my sincere condolences to his family.

An incredible life. A man with a concept to free the oppressed, imprisoned, and disenfranchised. And it worked! Through the positive reaction generated by the many who supported this great humanitarian, Peter Benenenson was able to change the minds and policies of otherwise cruel or indifferrent dictatorships. That's REAL power!

Example of What One Man Can Do, to change the world. Helping people,we forgot about.

We pay homage to a great humanitarian whose vision set a standard for all mankind to follow.

Sorry to learn of the death of Peter Benenson. I send my sincere condolences to his family.

It is impossible to imagine a more worthy life and work. Your legacy will live on and will benefit not only the present but future generations as well.

Rest in peace.

your work will be never forgotten

Thank you for caring......

Here and towards tremendous noble work, which continues and shall live beyond the immediacy. Your seeds and the ramifications have changed and continue to change positive efforts for humanity around the world.



Peace and human justice is your signature. May you live forever.
