The torture of Mr. David Daiqui, stripped naked, handcuffed and beaten up at Curepipe CID as witnessed and photographed by lawyer Anoup Goodary is a reminder of the horrific record of police violence in Mauritius.
Since 1979, at the time of the death in detention of Serge Victorine, LALIT has kept a register of deaths in police detention, based on deaths we hear about from families, from Press Reports and from National Human Rights Commission reports, when they were coming out.
