The Sharjah Police will not tolerate those who exploit their position to torture, humiliate, and abuse suspects to get information for any reason, according to Brigadier Saif Al Zari, Sharjah Police Chief.
Speaking to Khaleej Times on the sideline of the Arab Human Rights Day celebrated at Culture Palace, Al Zari said that no complaints from suspects about mistreatment by the police officers were recorded in 2015.
If any suspect makes a complaint with the Public Prosecution that he had been forced to provide information under duress or torture, a committee would be formed to investigate, and any officers found guilty would themselves be referred to court.
Al Zari said that although a large number of human trafficking cases have been reported in Sharjah, police follow procedures that respect the dignity of the victims.
"There are a number of cases of men exploiting women by using them to provide sexual services, but we don't consider them human traffickers, as in most of the cases the investigations revealed that the women were not forced, but agreed to their demands," he said.
Major Abdullah A Mulaih, Head of the Sharjah Police Research Centre, delivered a paper on the role that Sharjah Police have played in implementing human rights. He also said that advanced investigative technology has contributed a great deal to curbing such illegal practices, and that police provides eight training programmes - a total of 265 hours - to educate officers about being humane.
Police have also provided an opportunity for 47 inmates to complete their education, and in coordination with the Pink Caravan conducted medical check-ups for 320 women to ensure they are free of breast cancer. The police have also paid Dh2,205,307 to settle their debts.
In his speech, Dr Khalifa Kalander, member of the Human Rights Department of the Ministry of Interior, said that the UAE - under the instructions of its wise leadership and the teachings of Islam - has made great efforts to protect human rights locally and internationally.
