BackThe report “National Mechanism for the Investigation of Arbitrary Incidents” for 2021 aims to enhance transparency and focuses on groups of cases or independent incidents that have raised public concern.
During 2021, the assignment of special duties to enforcement agencies aiming at monitoring compliance with the measures against the spread of COVID-19, accounted for a series of complaints concerning violence and arbitrary conduct from the uniformed staff, culminating in the widespread incidents that took place in Nea Smyrni in March. The report makes special reference to the progress of these investigations.
It is structured similarly to the reports of the previous three years, to facilitate the comparative and systematic review of the degree of compliance of the internal disciplinary bodies with the recommendations and findings of the Ombudsman’s Mechanism.
