How can the situation be improved? The only recommendation is - DO NOT KEEP SILENT!

Victims and their relatives - not to tolerate violence and inhuman treatment, make such cases public to protect their dignity.

Journalists and human rights defenders (CS) - provide professional assistance to victims, talk about problems.

The state – impose a total ban on torture and the obligation to monitor and punish the perpetrators.
