A/HRC/16/52/Add.5 dragged into a police van and forced to lie down between two seats. During the long drive from Madang to Chuave, Simbu Province, he was continuously kicked, punched, and beaten with the butt of a gun, mainly on his face and upper body, by at least five officers. When he arrived at Simbu Police Station, he was beaten at the reception desk. When interviewed, Mr. Geo’s face was badly swollen, with a cut in his lip of about two cm in length, traces of butt of rifle on his back, and many other traces of ill-treatment. His clothes were covered with large blood stains. T. S., aged 17, had been arrested at gunpoint the night before, in relation to allegations of illegal alcohol consumption. He was taken to Chuave police station, where he was beaten by four officers for approximately one hour with a gun butt and a fan belt; he was also kicked and punched. He was subsequently transferred to the police station in Kundiawa. When interviewed by the Special Rapporteur, one of his eyes was swollen, one of his cheeks was covered with dried blood, and there were traces of a gun butt on his back. According to Mr. S. and Geo, both had been transferred by the same officers from Chuave to Kundiava Police Station. One of the officers involved in the abuse was identified as Mr. Paul Kalis from the CID at Chuave Police Station. Meeting with civil society in Kundiawa 20 May 2010 The Special Rapporteur meet with more than 30 civil society representatives, victims of police violence, police officers dealing with cases of sorcery and victims of sorcery related violence. Individual cases The Special Rapporteur interviewed the parents, sister and brother of Balu Kukam, who was so heavily beaten after his arrest on 10 August 2009 by police officer Jeffrey Pyasoto that he died in custody at Kundiawa Police Station the same night. We later investigated the case. Emmanuel Minga, aged 20, was at home in March 2010, when he saw a crowd chasing a boy who had stolen the pastor’s wallet. Since his family always tried to stop criminal activities, he went out with a friend, stopped the boy, took the wallet and gave it back to the pastor. Then they escorted the pastor back to the bus stop, the crowd still following them. However, a police car passed and thought they had done something wrong since the crowd was so agitated following them. They came out of their car, and he saw that they had beers and guns in the car. They started beating both of them with the gun butts and the other boy was bleeding. They were asked to crawl in the mud. The mobile squad then left. Later, he went to the police station to complain about it, talked to the PPC and requested apologies for being mistaken by the two officers. So far nothing was done. Peter Bomai Jonathan, aged 33, was in many different police stations and prisons since 1995. He was freed this year in March as his case was dismissed. Over the years, he was at Bomana Correctional Facility, Goroka Correctional Facility, Barawagi Correctional Facility and Goroka, Boroko and Kundiawa police stations. He states that upon arrest he was never treated humanely. At Boroko and Kundiawa police stations he was forced to confess. He actually thinks that Boroko is the worst place he visited. Barawagi was the best. But all in all he complains about the food that made him so weak physically over the years. He also states that criminals go back to criminality after their time in jail, as there is no program to rehabilitate them. He has no job, no idea of what to do next, and thinks criminal activities are as appealing as before. He has no trust in police. 53
