Outrage in Dschang as Children Face Abusive Treatment: Parents Protest Police Actions
wave of anger and concern has swept through the community as parents gathered in a demonstration this morning following the reported abusive interpellation of a dozen children by the police. The children, aged 8 to 15, were allegedly arrested around 9 p.m. during New Year celebrations and spent the night in police cells.
Disturbingly, reports suggest that the police demanded sums of money from each child in exchange for their release. The situation came to light only at 9 a.m. this morning when parents, unaware of their children's whereabouts, were finally informed of the distressing situation.
According to some of the children involved, the police subjected them to degrading treatment. Allegedly, the authorities poured urine and water on their bodies, forced them to lie on the ground, and subjected them to torture.
The parents, shocked and outraged by these revelations, took to the streets in a demonstration, demanding justice for their children and condemning the reported police brutality. The incident has raised serious concerns about the well-being and safety of minors during interactions with law enforcement.{loadmoduleid 377}
Community leaders and activists have joined the chorus of condemnation, calling for a thorough investigation into the reported abuses. The allegations of extortion, physical abuse, and mistreatment of minors by the police are seen as a violation of human rights and have sparked a public outcry for accountability.
Local authorities and human rights organizations are urged to swiftly investigate the matter, ensuring that those responsible for the reported abuses are held accountable. The protection and welfare of children are paramount, and any violation of their rights must be met with the full force of the law.
As the community unites in its demand for justice, there is a collective call for transparency, accountability, and a commitment to safeguarding the rights and dignity of every individual, especially the vulnerable and young members of society.{loadmoduleid 378}
