    The Civic Action Center NGO was set up in October 2002. Till recently
    one of the main strands of the NGO was the monitoring of penitentiaries

    to June 2007 with the authorization of the NKR government.

    The chair of the CAC told this in a briefing. According to him,
    the CAC reported the results of the monitoring to the CoE, the OSCE,
    the UN Human Rights Council, the ICRC, Amnesty International, Penal
    Reform International, the International Committee Against Torture,
    other international and human rights organizations.

    Currently the CAC s implementing a program of backing of former inmates
    and their families. The aim of the project is to foster reintegration
    of former inmates in the society and to support their families morally
    and psychologically. The CAC is also involved in the search for the
    missing in the area of the Karabakh conflict, helps former POWs and
    hostages solve their social and economic problems.

    In February-March 2005 the NGO implemented a program of rehabilitation
    of the children of the missing people, POWs and hostages. The
    organization held computer classes, lectures on tolerance and
    recreation with an educational program for these children. The
    psychologist of the NGO held individual and group therapy for those
    children.
