Non-governmental sources: women continue to be tortured, ill-treated and sexually harassed by the police. For example, during investigations, women report being sexually harassed with abusive language, stripped naked, beaten and threatened with rape. In many cases, male police officers were found to have tortured female detainees. Moreover, during incommunicado detention, women are often sexually abused and then threatened not to disclose what happened. The widespread practice of arbitrary detention, torture and other ill-treatment of juveniles in police custody is a major concern; furthermore, juveniles are detained in inappropriate conditions.
