Child rights commission calls for withdrawal of torture cops’ promotions

The Rights of the Child Commission (RCC) has called for the immediate rescinding of the promotions of Narine Lall and Mohanram Dolai, the policemen who tortured a teen boy at the Leonora Police Station, while saying their elevation is not in the interest of the police force or law and order.
