Diagram № 3 TDF. The ratio of previously convicted and non-convicted 2.2 . The right to freedom from torture and ill-treatment According to the official position of the leadership of the MoI, set out in the Concept of reforming the IAB and priority measures for its implementation in 2013-2014, the previously declared reform of the IAB system did not achieve its objectives, because the measures were carried out in fragments, holistic transformation did not receive support without the necessary political will, and broad public support for reform was absent.8 Ordinary police officers are of the same opinion. 47% of the surveyed IAB officers noted that the reforms have led to small changes, and a third of the respondents believe that the reforms have not been able to change anything.9 Since the system has not changed, working methods of the IAB officers have not changed either. Outdated and in efficient measures of performance, the so-called system of “cane” or “percent mania” continues to exist. Chasing numbers leads to corruption, violence and torture against detainees accused of committing a crime. 15.2% of the total number of respondents who were in the TDF of the IAB said that torture and ill-treatment has been applied. 8 Concept of reforming of the IAB and priority measures for its implementation in 2013-2014.
