The State party should consider establishing an investigatory body that is
institutionally separate from the Ministry of Internal Security and composed of
personnel whose prior professions would not result in or create the perception of any
conflict of interest in the execution of their duties or create doubt as to the body’s
impartiality and independence.
Data collection
17.
While welcoming the statistics provided, the Committee regrets the lack of
comprehensive and disaggregated data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and
convictions of cases of ill-treatment by law enforcement, security and prison personnel, as
well as on means of redress for victims of ill-treatment (arts. 2, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16).
The State party should compile statistical data relevant to the monitoring of the
implementation of the Convention at the national level, including data on complaints,
investigations, prosecutions and convictions of cases of ill-treatment, as well as on
means of redress, including compensation and rehabilitation, provided to the victims.
Follow-up procedure

The Committee requests the State party to provide, by 15 May 2016, follow-up

on conditions of detention; in paragraph 12, on racist and xenophobic acts against foreign
detainees; in paragraph 13, on juvenile justice; and in paragraph 15, on the powers of the
Public Prosecutor.
Other issues

The State party is requested to disseminate widely the report submitted to the
