Experts talk about established practice of such operations: heavily armed police raids in poor neighborhoods and detain suspected “criminals” without a court order . If, during such raids they kill people, often in their own homes, they move the body and the objects in the scene to give the incident for emergency self-defense during the shooting. The government presents these actions as the success of the fight against crime in the country”, – stated in the message.
