Current Campaigns

This scheme is an important and integral part of the work of acat-uk, can you commit to helping?
There are occasions when a swift response by letter can save a prisoner from torture and even death.

How our Campaigns Work

A major part of acat-uk’s work is campaigning on behalf of both victims of torture and those under threat of torture or death.
This falls into two parts:

Part One - Action

Members are given detailed appeals concerning victims of torture or abuse of human rights.
These include:

• facts relating to the specific case
• a draft letter to help members send appeals
• addresses both postal and if possible e-mail of the persons or organisations responsible for the alleged abuses
• addresses of embassies in the UK of the countries concerned
• when to contact your MP/MEP

Part Two - Information

To keep our members informed of developments worldwide and in individual countries our bi-monthly newsletter gives information on:

• countries where abuse of human rights are known to occur
• developments in international law to curb torture or ensure fair trials
• results of appeals sent to countries or organizations

On occasion specific campaigns may run through several issues of our newsletter.
