TWO
CASES OF THE USE OF VIOLENCE FROM KUKĖS POLICE
The Albanian Helsinki Committee (AHC) correspondent in Kukės
informs that there have been two cases of the illegal use of
violence from police. At the meeting the correspondent held in
22.02.2002 with the sentenced person named Bledar Halili held at the
pre-detention rooms, it resulted that he was maltreated and hit some
times by the chief of crimes and some policemen because he made
noise.
The
second case comes from 19.04.2002 when near the village of Kalimash
there was stopped citizen Martin Prenga as suspected for stealing
hunting dogs. In 22.04.2002 the AHC correspondent personally
contacted detained Martin Leka who complained that police forces had
exerted violence by hitting him in the body and the head at the
moment of detention. Another violation was the fact that he was not
communicated the right of defence with a lawyer.
Together
with the information the correspondent has also brought the
complaint from the detained person’s family for this maltreatment.
As
such cases are repeated ones the AHC asks the proper institutions to
undertake fast and efficient steps to give an end to such arbitrary
actions.
