2007, for example, ITEI offered psychological and social care to the 51 men, women and children directly affected by the incident. ITEI continues to provide medical, psychological and judicial assistance to those involved in the events of 24 May 2008 in Sucre when some 60 government supporters were subject to violence and humiliation in the city's main square at the hands of supporters of Bolivia's opposition movement. Investigation The investigative department works with those who have been subject to torture or other forms of state violence, or have been forced to "disappear" or go into exile. The department carries out surveys and interviews, records witness testimonies, launches investigations, publishes articles, provides legal consultation and hosts workshops, seminars and debates. After the events in Sucre in May 2008, for instance, ITEI initiated an emergency project to document what had occurred and produced a report on "The Return of Repression: Colonial Racism in Charcas", as well as launching a campaign in Europe to raise awareness of what had taken place. ITEI also demanded an investigation into the incident before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Training The training department has two principal aims: To organise workshops in human rights and educate those groups which tend to be discriminated against or are considered at risk To arrange courses in psychotraumatology for professionals who come into contact with individuals who have been exposed to violence. ITEI also runs workshops alongside other organisations, and oversees psychotherapy sessions. Since 2006 ITEI has been working with young people as part of its "Project to Develop Young Aymaran Community Leaders" in the towns of Achacachi and Huanuni, training young leaders who have been affected by state violence and continual social upheaval. The aim of the project is that future generations will encourage coexistence in their communities and the creation of a democratic society that acknowledges and respects human rights. Prison Work Since March 2008 ITEI has carried out programmes of therapy and investigation with prisoners held in detention centres in the cities of La Paz and Cochabamba. ITEI offers psychological and medical assistance to women and children in prison, as well as to prison staff. The investigations aim to document acts of torture and mistreatment, and detect any violence towards children, as well as to establish: Where torture is taking place The methods of torture that are being used Who is committing torture and acts of violence Why
