The
first complaint involved “claim of mistreatment” during an arrest and detention
at one of the security centers, the second incident involved a woman who complained that she was allegedly
subjected to beating by members of the women police while she took part in a
peaceful protest in 2020.
NCHR commissioner-general, Alaa Al-Armouti, said that the
prosecution of the concerned law enforcement officers reinforces a “no
impunity” approach, calling for enhancing the oversight role of the center, and
requesting that the center be provided with detailed files of such cases, “and
not only the findings or the investigation.”
The police officers were tried at the Police Court of the
Public Security Directorate. NCHR has also requested that similar incidents be
referred to regular criminal courts.
