Prosecutor General: Victims of April repression need to come forth

The Prosecutor General's office has asked the victims of the April repression to come forth and help authorities identify the security forces that abused their rights. Many of the victims will get subpoenas.

On April 7, after a group a violent protesters stormed the Parliament and Presidential buildings and set some floors ablaze, authorities started a repression campaign that ended with the detention of about 700 people and the torture and beating of about 300, according to a recent Soros Foundation report.

The new authorities have promised to identify the individuals who committed these violations.
