"Any allegation of torture properly brought before the competent
judicial authorities can be pursued as a separate legal case before the
independent courts. Moreover, the complaints can be referred to the
European Commission of Human Rights after domestic legal means to pursue
the case are exhausted. This has been the procedure followed by
Messrs. 'Haydar Kutlu1 and Nihat Sargin.
"There has been an increase in the number of the relevant human
rights documents used in the training programmes for law enforcement
personnel. In this context, it is worth mentioning that a book entitled
Human Relations and Torture written by a Turkish judge and Human Rights
and the Police prepared by the Committee of Experts for the Promotion of
Education and Information in the Field of Human Rights, which is a body
of the Council of Europe are in general use. Moreover, Human Rights in
Prisons. which is another book prepared by the Council of Europe, will
soon be introduced in the training programmes for the personnel of the
penitentiary institutions."
