From news article:

In February, SarahAB discussed golden handshakes of £830,000 being given by Amnesty International to the departing secretary general, Irene Khan and her deputy, Kate Gilmore. I skim at least half a dozen print newspapers most days. As Anne Mickenberg almost said, it is odd when the only one I have seen mentioning a review headed by Dame Anne Owers is the Aberdeen Press and Journal (based on this report).
