The State party should: (a) Ensure that all allegations of torture and ill-treatment by law enforcement officials and all deaths in custody are investigated promptly, effectively and impartially by mechanisms that are structurally and operationally independent, with no institutional or hierarchical connection between the investigators and the alleged perpetrators; and ensure that perpetrators, if found guilty, are punished in a manner that is commensurate with the gravity of their acts; (b) Ensure that all persons under investigation for having committed acts of torture or ill-treatment are suspended immediately from their duties and remain so throughout the investigation, while ensuring that the principle of presumption of innocence is observed; (c) Implement the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights; expedite the criminal proceedings against the four police officers allegedly responsible for the death of Igor Stachowiak and inform the Committee about their outcome; (d) Ensure that records of injuries are kept where cases of torture and illtreatment can be recorded and ensure that all interrogation rooms in all parts of the country have closed-circuit television and the equipment necessary to make video and audio recordings of interrogations; (e) Ensure that the use of electrical discharge weapons (tasers) is strictly compliant with the principles of necessity, subsidiarity, proportionality, advance warning (where feasible) and precaution; and that they are not included as part of the regular equipment of custodial staff in prisons and other places of deprivation of liberty, including police stations; provide information on the 23 eligible entities that, in accordance with national regulations, are authorized to use electrical discharge weapons, and on the characteristics of “non-penetrating missiles”, the modalities of their use and their effects on the human body; (f) Systematically provide training to all law enforcement officials on the use of force, including in the context of crowd control, and on the provisions of the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, the Ordinance of 17 September 1990 on the Use of Coercive Measures by the Police and the Act of 24 May 2013 on Coercive Measures and Firearms.

The Committee is concerned that, more than a decade since the conclusion of the rendition and secret detention programmes of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States of America from 2001 to 2008, which allegedly included torture and ill-treatment of persons suspected of terrorism-related crimes, the State party has failed to elucidate the alleged complicity of and abuse of power by public servants who, in different towns from 2001 to 2005, enabled the establishment of places of detention in Poland. It is also concerned that the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Krakow has not been able to produce a ruling in case No. PR II Ds. 16.2016. The Committee further regrets the absence of the requested information on diplomatic assurances or the equivalent thereof in relation to cases of refoulement, extradition or expulsion that may have taken place during the period under review (arts. 2, 3, 12 and 13). 22.
