Who We Are
Since 1995, an average of 80 different members of our christian society has maintained a private correspondence with death row prisoners in the US, mainly from Texas.
Our Vision
Christians of all denominations working together
From the outset, ACAT chose to work on an ecumenical basis, bringing together Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and other Christians. It is independent of the Churches' institutional structures and of all political, ideological and economic groups.
Working in a Christian perspective, ACAT believes that prayer is central to its action.
Types Of Activity
Ever since it was founded, in 1974, ACAT (Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture) has campaigned on behalf of people who are tortured, detained in inhuman conditions, sentenced to death or "disappeared", whatever their origins, political opinions or religious beliefs.
