DURHAM City Amnesty International group will be taking part in the worldwide celebrations of the charity's 40th anniversary on July 14.
The group will set up a stall at Durham Miners' Gala to draw attention to its work.
Chairwoman Brenda Liptrot said: "We are very proud to be celebrating the 40th birthday of the world's biggest independent human rights organisation.
"The Durham City group has been campaigning for 28 years and is working on Amnesty International's global Stamp Out Torture campaign.
"We want to thank all those local people who have made a contribution, large or small, towards Amnesty International's vital work."
