thirty five cases of executions committed by police officers and executions known as false as positive. terms find access to the justice system very difficult that first of all because of their economic situation. it's difficult for them to get a lawyer that you know. victims are socially segregated many live on the fringes of society or reside illegally so they can't say they are victims because they're being persecuted or outcasts. being a victim is shameful. as. well phone calls or notes with insults and warnings on them saying that if they talk they can fall victim to any sort of

aggression a culture of fear among victims has built up they say things like i can't talk because so and so started talking and they've killed him or he's disappeared or he's being threatened that's why a lot of people just won't talk. with her it's getting worse because the government has started intimidating people who want to report these things saying that those who report false hoods will be prosecuted. or a problem is that everyone has the right to turn to the legal system to report something. we are the first one to inquire into these cases and find out if they really are cases of fossils positive was. if they are we shall take all necessary steps and every responsibility but if they are not then they add to the long list of fake reports.
