Slovakia Information transmitted to the Government and replies received 590. By letter dated 29 May 1995 the Special Rapporteur advised the Government that he had received information concerning the case of Cyril Dunka. He had reportedly been ill-treated by police in Krompahy on 22 June 1993, after he had illegally parked his car. Police officers were also said to have struck in the face Jozef Horváth, the brother of Cyril Dunka’s wife, after he had failed to produce his identification. Three officers then allegedly started to beat Cyril Dunka, upon which he attempted to flee, stopping after a warning shot was fired. An officer subsequently hit him on the neck and he fell to the ground, whereupon he was allegedly kicked several times. At the local police station the beatings continued. He filed a complaint about the alleged ill-treatment with the investigator in Spišská Nová Ves on 6 July 1993. The complaint was rejected in November 1993, but on 21 September 1993 the investigator filed criminal charges against Cyril Dunka for assaulting a police officer. 591. On 14 September 1995 the Government replied that Cyril Dunka was convicted on 6 February 1995 of assault on a police officer and his appeal was dismissed on 18 April 1995. The district court had established that Cyril Dunka had physically assaulted a municipal police officer and then had fled the scene. When pursued by another officer, he did not obey the warnings to stop, but instead threatened the officer with a stone. The officer tripped Cyril Dunka and he fell face-down on the ground and injured himself. A medical certificate indicated that he had suffered an abrasion of the left cheek and an x-ray, taken two weeks later, revealed a fracture of the nose. The medical specialist had neither ruled out nor confirmed that the fracture had occurred on the date of the incident in question. The records indicated that no torture, tormenting treatment or undue violence had been carried out by municipal police and that they had used appropriate means to overcome the resistance of Cyril Dunka.
