The official added that the authorities have already changed pre-trial restrictions for the vast majority of those who have been detained in January. Hundreds of people were set free. The government is also aimed to protect the civil rights of all detainees still in custody.
All cases of police wrongdoing have been investigated. On the other hand, every serious crime committed during the unrest (murder, rape, looting, robbery, etc.) will be punished as the law requires.
