The Ombudsman monitored the opposition protest held in the capital on Sunday along the entire route.

The institution's working group visited hospitals and police stations to see and interview detained or injured protesters.

According to preliminary data, at least 12 adults were detained, while 4 minors were released after questioning.

At the Trauma Hospital, the Ombudsman's team handled the complaint of a protester who reported violence by the police, for which a relevant investigation has been launched.

The detailed report will be published at the conclusion of the administrative investigation.

The Ombudsman takes the opportunity to emphasize that while encouraging only peaceful gatherings, he calls on the law enforcement agencies to exercise restraint and professionalism, regardless of the dynamics of the protest.

It also emphasizes the need for transparency on the protocols used by the police for escalating force and the use of crowd dispersal tools such as tear gas or water.
