CAT/C/RUS/CO/5 State party should ensure that police officers refusing to register such complaints are appropriately disciplined. Violent attacks because of race, ethnicity, or identity of the victims 15. The Committee is concerned at persistent reports of discrimination and abuses including violent attacks and abuses against Roma and other ethnic minorities, migrant workers, foreign nationals, and others targeted because of their identity or social marginalization, including the death in custody of a number of Roma in Kazan and Pskov in 2005-2011. The Committee is further concerned at reports that police have failed to promptly react to, or to carry out effective investigations and bring charges against all those responsible for violent attacks against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons, such as alleged regarding the recent attacks on the “7 Free Days Club” in Moscow and the “Parisian Life Club” in Tyumen (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16). The State party should: (a) Take effective measures to ensure the protection of all persons at risk, including Roma, persons belonging to ethnic minorities, migrant workers, LGBT persons and foreign nationals, including through enhanced monitoring. All acts of violence and discrimination against members of such groups should be promptly, impartially and effectively investigated, the perpetrators brought to justice, and redress provided to the victims. The Committee recommends that statistics be compiled regarding all crimes against members of such groups made vulnerable, and on the outcomes of investigations, prosecutions and remedial measures taken in relation to such crimes; (b) Publicly condemn attacks against Roma, ethnic and other minorities, migrant workers, and LGBT persons and other persons at risk, and organize awareness-raising campaigns, including among the police, promoting tolerance and respect for diversity. Hazing (“Dedovschchina”) and ill-treatment within the armed forces 16. The Committee remains concerned about allegations of abuses and deaths occurring within the army as a result of reported hazing practices of conscripts by officers and fellow soldiers, conducted by or with the consent, acquiescence or approval of superiors or other personnel. While noting the information provided by the delegation to the effect that such practices have decreased in recent years, the Committee remains concerned at numerous reports received on hazing and on allegations that investigations carried out into several such incidents were inadequate or absent. The Committee is further concerned by reports that individuals responsible for such acts are inadequately sanctioned (arts. 2, 4, 12, 13 and 16). The State party should reinforce measures to prohibit and eliminate hazing in the armed forces and ensure prompt and impartial investigation of all allegations of hazing and deaths in the military in order to achieve zero tolerance of ill-treatment and torture of military personnel, as previously recommended by the Committee. Where evidence of hazing is found, the State party should ensure prosecution of all incidents and appropriate punishment of the perpetrators, including exclusion from the armed forces; make the results of those investigations public; and provide redress for victims, including appropriate medical and psychological assistance. Non-refoulement and diplomatic assurances 17. The Committee is concerned about reports of extraditions and expulsions of foreign nationals by the State party to members of the Commonwealth of Independent States in Central Asia, when those extraditions or expulsions expose the individuals concerned to a 8
