Amnesty Int'l Goes Apartheid? Tsk, Tsk

Amnesty International UK reserves the right to refuse entry to any person for any reason deemed appropriate by us, including (but not exclusively): capacity limitations, intoxication or any conduct that we consider would be disruptive or offensive.

Does that sound ominous to you?

Refuse entry?  Even before an act is committed?

Discriminatory?  Preventive injunctions aren't appreciated much by groups like these, no?

Racist, possibly?

Apartheid policy?

Or just plain anti-democratic?

"Any reason"?  "Any conduct"?

Wait, isn't their some objective standard?  Civil liberties can be refused without any sense of propriety?

Tsk, tsk.
