Action by Christians Against Torture

ACAT-UK works for the abolition of torture worldwide, by increasing awareness of the Christian obligation to work towards ending it. ACAT depends largely on local church-based groups. Formed in 1984, ACAT produces a bi-monthly newsletter with topical case studies, model appeal letters and prayers.
