The national police and the National Security Service (NSS) lacked established procedures to implement reforms or to prevent incidents of abuse ("Country Report on Human Rights Practices 2006") [ID 20178]
"The national police and the National Security Service (NSS) are responsible for domestic security, intelligence activities, and border control; they report directly to the prime minister. Both services lacked the training, resources, and established procedures to implement reforms or to prevent incidents of abuse. Prisoners reported that police and NSS authorities did little to investigate allegations of abuse. As a result, impunity was a serious problem."
