They call for police violence to be investigated on the pretext of coronavirus
- These are images that we are seeing these days on social networks: beating an inactive citizen, or knocking him down, mobilizing with violence, insulting or attacking those who are on the street… A platform has asked the Ministry of the Interior to investigate all these actions, remembering that this state of alarm is not an excuse for exercising police violence.
In these times of coronavirus crisis, police officers are using unwarranted and disproportionate violence, which is the denunciation of the Defender to Whom He Defends platform, according to El Salto. The platform, composed of organizations dedicated to the fight for human rights, has been transferred to the Ministry of the Interior through a letter of complaint. They have asked him to “use internal channels to investigate and clarify the responsibilities of all these actions.”
The United Nations Human Rights Delegate, Michelle Bachelet, has also warned that a state of emergency cannot be used for repression. In short, the most basic rights of citizenship should be guaranteed.
If you see it, record
The people who are denouncing these police actions on social networks have appealed to the public to record whether these actions are seen, to record them and to be able to hold the appropriate account.
