Detention conditions for the hundreds of people already held are seriously unsatisfactory. We are still visiting and monitoring the condition of those many people injured by the grossly disproportionate use of force by police in recent days. |
Monitoring teams will be visiting places of detention throughout the day to determine the number of people held and the conditions and also the reasons given by authorities for the arrests and detention. |
Our teams have not been able to cover all demonstrations and all arrests. We can verify from our own monitoring over 160 arrests on Thursday. |
