Police have killed 11 people and injured 30 while enforcing the curfew to curb the spread of the coronavirus, a human rights lobby has said. In a report released on Tuesday, the Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU) also said 41 people were tortured by police during the 7pm to 5am curfew period that started on March 27. “During this period, we have monitored and documented 41 cases of police torture, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment perpetrated by law enforcement agencies and an assistant chief. Out of the 41 torture cases, 11 were deaths and the rest were injuries from torture and ill-treatment,” the IMLU said. “We also stand with the frontline teams of medical personnel in our health facilities and public health staff and volunteers working across communities," the IMLU said.
