situation
reports of such abuses by the Young
Communist League (YCL) have continued.
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.
