Bulgaria:31 in 35 Police Brutality Probes Prove Negative - Interior
Bulgaria has a problem with police brutality, which has turned into a "tumor to the system", Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov admitted himself.
Minister Tsvetanov has drawn repeated criticisms from various human rights NGOs, including Amnesty International and the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee, over abuse of police authority.
Citing statistics for January 01-April 30, Tsvetanov informed that a total of 35 police brutality probes have resulted in the dismissal of one police officer, with a total of four justified signals.
In 2010, 156 cases of alleged police brutality have been registered, resulting in two dismissals.
Tsvetanov countered allegations of increasing police brutality by saying that the attacks against workers of the Ministry of Interior were "an insult to the honest and hard-working policemen".
The Interior Minister likened excessive force used by police officers to a tumor that had been allowed to metastasize for 20 years.
Tsvetanov informed that all police brutality tip-offs, founded or unfounded, were followed by internal inspections, the results of which were always filed to the Prosecutor's Office.
The Interior Minister recommended trainings organized by the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of the Interior Academy as an apt preventive measure against police brutality.
In his words, policemen undergo annual trainings organized by the European Police College in which human rights and professional ethics issues are addressed.
