Should Amnesty give its Darfur donations to Mia Farrow?

Amnesty's refusal to call for a boycott of the Genocide Olympics calls into question its ability to campaign effectively for human rights in Darfur.

We all know that writing letters etc, and merely publicising abuses in Darfur makes not a jot of difference to the Sudanese government. The only way is to put pressure on the Chinese Government who are uniquely placed to influence the situation, and Mia and co are doing this magnificently.

It is as if the years of green campaigners' successful actions had never happened, as Amnesty remains tied up in its own rules and red tape refusing to ever call for a boycott, even when this would give a much greater chance of success than its traditional approaches.

So, having raised hopes, expectations and funds shouldn't it return the donations or give them to Mia as a valentine?
