Investigations of torture ongoing in Moldova

There have been reports of torture and other illegal activities following a protest that got out of hand sometime in early April. The World Organisation Against Torture is now investigating the incident which may have seen minors being tortured while in police custody. Reports from the incident in Chisinau between April 7 and 8 say that many of the detainees were held in poor conditions with very limited access to water and food. Those arrested, which were mostly minors, were also beaten badly with fists, feet, plastic bottles and even clubs. The investigation is ongoing and arrests will be made.
