In June 1986, Sting reunited with the Police for the last three shows of Amnesty's six-date A Conspiracy of Hope concerts in the US. The day after the final concert, he told NBC's "Today Show": "I've been a member of Amnesty and a support member for five years, due to an entertainment event called "The Secret Policeman's Ball" and before that I did not know about Amnesty, I did not know about its work, I did not know about torture in the world." In 1988, he joined musicians including Peter Gabriel and Bruce Springsteen for a six-week Human Rights Now! tour commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
