The organization has stood up to dictators and death squads, but Rowling and the UK's anti-speech laws were apparently too much.

JK Rowing had done what countless Dictatorships have failed to do.

Eh, idk. Lots of rights groups like the ACLU have historically lead campaigns to defend groups like the KKK.
Because it's bad for all of us if there becomes court precedent restricting free speech

What happened, in relation to Amnesty UK?

That's not really a fair comparison.
Amnesty obviously wouldn't back down from groups that have literally committed mass torture and mass murder.
Rowling is bad, but Amnesty can't as easily provide concrete evidence that she'a directly murdered or tortured people.
Free speech is tricky, legally. It's much less tricky to navigate the law when it's about murder and torture.
