Police Torture at Youtube.com
Belgrade, June 25, 2011

The
Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia appeals to the
Ministry of the Interior to immediately investigate the authenticity
of the video clip placed at Youtube.come that clearly shows illegal
use of force against a younger man in a police station. The Helsinki
Committee requests the Ministry to determine identities of the
persons involved, the date of the incident and the exact location of
the said police station. If the recording itself is authentic, it is
a textbook example of torture that is punishable under domestic
legislation. In that case the Committee calls on the Ministry to
immediately take all necessary steps against perpetrators. |
In the days to come the Committee will be closely following the
developments related to this case, the more so since ill-treatment
of persons taken into custody is still among the biggest problems
challenging the prevention of torture.
The video clip is available at:
