JK Rowling accuses 'tyrant' Amnesty International of 'attacking female rape victims' and issues legal ultimatum after it blacklisted her women-only sexual violence charity in trans row

JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, has accused Amnesty International UK of being a 'tyrant' and 'attacking female rape victims' after the organization included her women-only sexual assault charity, Beira's Place, in a list of organizations deemed 'anti-rights'. The list was initially published in error and later corrected, but Beira's Place reappeared in another document highlighting 'gender critical' organizations. Rowling claims this was part of a targeted campaign to damage her charity's reputation and label its supporters as 'anti-trans bigots'. She has threatened legal action unless Amnesty agrees to specific remedies, including retracting defamatory claims and conducting an independent investigation.
