Moldovan ombudsman says application of torture harms country's image a lot
The Human Rights Centre from Moldova (CpDOM) today organized an international scientific and practical conference on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the National Torture Prevention Mechanism. The event was backed by the History, State and Law Institute and the United Nations Development Programme. Politicians and militants for human rights of Moldova and from abroad participated in the conference. CpDOM director Anatolie Munteanu has told MOLDPRES that "the application of torture in a contemporary society, which claims to be democratic, harms the image of this country a lot." "Unfortunately, at the international level, Moldova is distinguished by violation of the right not to be subjected to ill treatment," the ombudsman said. One third out of the 207 convictions Moldova has got from the European Court of Human Rights (CEDO) are related to the application of torture. The head of the ombudsmen emphasized that 600,000 euros out of the 15 million euros, which Moldova must pay for the infringement of the Convention on Human Rights, represent penalties for ill treatments and torture. Anatolie Muntean considers that Moldova has enough levers to combat this scourge."Yet, we have to also change the way of approaching the phenomenon, help some civil servants revise their value axis on the human being in the period when the latter is in the custody of the state." He referred to employees from the police, prosecution and judges. The participants in the conference adopted a resolution which, inter alia, "encourages the cooperation of public authorities and civil society with the national torture prevention mechanisms, in order to reduce the phenomenon of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading punishments or treatments."
