SOS Torture - The Urgent Action Scheme

There are occasions when a swift response by letter can save a prisoner from torture and even death

SOS Torture helps

• torture victims
• those receiving death threats
• those who have ‘disappeared’
• victims of possible extra judicial execution
• detainees at risk of torture

What the Urgent Action SCheme Involves

• receives urgent appeals from OMCT (Organisation Mondial Contre le Torture) based in Geneva
• needs volunteer letter writers to respond very quickly
• supplies details of appeal cases and points to make in letters written
• allows you to decide how many Urgent Action Letters you wish to write (e.g. one a week, a fortnight, a month)
