    `Violence, beatings, confinement for more than 3 hours, the use of
    psychological pressure, failure to provide legal aid and non-assurance
    of protection, forcing to false testimony has been common style of the
    Police work' head of the Vanadzor office of Helsinki Civil Association
    Arthur Saqunts mentioned and added that from 2011 they have received
    33 application, but none of them was made into a criminal case.

    `Police officers allow obvious illegalities, torture the citizens, and
    later their head are moved to other departments and assume high
    positions. It turns out that the performance of violence is encouraged
    in our country'Sakunts mentioned and added that the quality of the
    work of police is assessed by the number of revealed crimes, `and when
    they are unable to assure planned results, according to their `black
    list' the missing number is filled with the drug addicts and former
    convicts.

    According to Sakunts, Special Investigative Service is also involved
    in inaction and does nothing and intentionally implements the
    examination in the way that that the cases are not revealed but rather
    forgotten.

    `There should be independent internal mechanist of appeal, that is to
    say the state should implement supervision upon the action of the
    police officers, that institute should have such a developed mechanist
    of examination, so that the rate of torture towards the citizens
    decreases. Today when the citizens enter the court with complaint of
    police torture, in that case the court also does not grant appropriate
    attention'.

    Majority of people who are subjected to violence are so much dependent
    on their employment for supporting their life that under the fear of
    its loose put up with this kind of inhuman treatment' head of Vanadzor
    office of Helsinki Association mentioned and presents an example: the
    son of the tortured citizen applied to them, but later denies and said
    that there is no need to continue the case, and similar cases are
    common.

    Sakunts does not see any possibility of torture prevention by the
    police officers, besides that, the issue of the tortured citizens
    should be raised regularly.
