Behind the link you can see a quock collection of the most recent Russia-related reports. Only one of them got news coverage.

Amnesty is using the 'both sides are bad in war' rhetoric and hides behind the claim of impartiality in doing so. It also did so without consulting Amnesty Ukraine or local sources on the validity of the reports (resulting in the head quitting) and drew immediate applause from Russia. It was effectively a propaganda piece for Russia.
Amnesty International also curiously removed Alexei Navalny as a prisoner of conscience in February
This article in particular shows why AI's article and AI as a whole due to their conduct and actions after the article was released deserved such harsh criticism.
