E/CN.4/1995/34 page 53 276. The Special Rapporteur also received reports of ill-treatment by police at a demonstration in Bordeaux on 17 March 1994 in protest against a decree concerning minimum wage rates for young professionals. Jean Fuchs was arrested by two plainclothes officers and was allegedly kicked and punched in the mouth, which resulted in injuries to his nose and a broken tooth. Didier Loroche was reportedly stopped by two plainclothes officers who handed him over to the custody of the "intervention squads" (brigades d’intervention), who allegedly punched, kicked and beat him with a truncheon. A medical certificate noted a broken nose and various injuries to his eyes, chest, knees and thighs. 277. The Special Rapporteur also informed the Government that he had received reports according to which persons subjected to identity checks for the purpose of determining immigration status were sometimes subjected to ill-treatment. 278. Tameem Taqi, a French national and son of a former Bahraini diplomat, had his identity papers checked by police in a restaurant on 29 June 1993 after the police had been called over a dispute involving the bill. The dispute was settled, but after leaving the restaurant, Tameem Taqi was stopped by the same police officers and allegedly kicked, punched and beaten with truncheons. He was taken to hospital and the next day was seen by the prosecutor, who reportedly extended his custody and took no action to investigate his injuries. He filed a civil complaint against the officers for torture and the prosecutor for illegal arrest. Four police officers were said to have been indicted and a sergeant was remanded in custody for assault and battery. 279. Moufida Ksouri, a French national of Tunisian origin, was reportedly raped by two Italian police officers in the course of an identity check upon crossing the border at Menton-Ventimiglia into France on 15 July 1993. The officers then took her to the French border post, where a French police corporal allegedly assaulted her and forced her to have sexual relations with him in the toilets of the post. Another officer on duty at the post was said not to have participated in the assault. A French magistrate subsequently indicted both French police officers on charges of indecent behaviour. One officer was remanded in custody and the other was freed under judicial control. The two Italian officers were indicted and convicted by a court in San Remo. The investigation in France was reportedly still ongoing. 280. Pierre Kongo, a doctor from the Central African Republic, was reportedly stopped by two railway officers asking to see his ticket at the Gare du Nord in Paris on 15 February 1994. After informing them that he did not have a ticket because he was waiting for a friend, a police officer asked for his identity papers and he showed his Central African Republic passport. He was then allegedly pushed down the stairs leading to the rail offices, handcuffed and punched. He was hospitalized and a medical certificate was said to have recorded a fracture to his right eye-socket. 281. The Special Rapporteur also transmitted the cases summarized in the following paragraphs.
