A more comprehensive training system may be introduced for police officers in Myanmar after authorities acknowledged that the lack of such a system may have led to officers previously using excessive force on protesters.
One such incident that caught international attention was in March 2015, when officers were seen using force on students demonstrating against an education law. The incident left several students and police officers injured.
Myanmar’s plan to further reform its police force comes on the back of a report that the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) launched in the capital Nay Pyi Taw on Monday (May 16). (Courtesy of channelnewsasia.com)
