Abolish Torture

​

ACAT's goal is to mobilise and bring together Christians of all denominations to stamp out the evil of torture. We pray, write appeals and urge governments and authorities to end the torture and abuse of human beings. By exposing torture we can end it. We can improve conditions of detention and help achieve the release of prisoners who are often innocent of any known criminal offence. It is vital work. We also believe it is God’s Will.
