Djiboutian Human Rights Commission Investigates Security Services



Djibouti's National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH) has completed investigations into the detention facilities of police, gendarmerie, and the service documentation and security headquarters, Djibouti's La Nation reported Wednesday (April 3rd).

The CNDH sent an unannounced delegation to the three offices, meeting with officials and speaking with prisoners to verify that the detainees were being treated with respect for human rights.

Investigators positively evaluated the prisons' preservation of the physical safety and dignity of the detainees, their ability to contact their families, and their access to due process, adequate medical care and legal counsel.
