Garland announced April 21 that the Justice Department has opened a pattern or practice investigation into the City of Minneapolis (the City) and the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD). The investigation will assess all types of force used by MPD officers, including uses of force involving individuals with behavioral health disabilities and uses of force against individuals engaged in activities protected by the First Amendment. The investigation will also assess whether MPD engages in discriminatory policing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the investigation the Justice Department will conduct a comprehensive review of MPD policies, training and supervision. The department will also examine MPD\u2019s systems of accountability, including complaint intake, investigation, review, disposition and discipline. The Department of Justice will also reach out to community groups and members of the public to learn about their experiences with MPD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe investigation I am announcing today will assess whether the Minneapolis Police Department engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force, including during protests,\u201d said Attorney General Garland. \u201cBuilding trust between community and law enforcement will take time and effort by all of us, but we undertake this task with determination and urgency, knowing that change cannot wait.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That morning, Department of Justice officials informed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, MPD Chief Medaria Arradondo, City Attorney Jim Rowader, City Coordinator Mark Ruff, and City Council President Lisa Bender of the investigation. The department will continue to work closely with both the City and MPD as the investigation progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation is being conducted pursuant to the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which prohibits state and local governments from engaging in a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers that deprives individuals of rights protected by the Constitution or federal law. The Act allows the Department of Justice to remedy such misconduct through civil litigation. The department will be assessing law enforcement practices under the First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, as well as under the Safe Streets Act of 1968, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Special Litigation Section of the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Minnesota, in Minneapolis, are jointly conducting this investigation. Individuals with relevant information are encouraged to contact the Department of Justice via email at Community.Minneapolis@usdoj.gov or by phone at 866-432-0268. Individuals can also report civil rights violations regarding this or other matters using the Civil Rights Division\u2019s new reporting portal, available at civilrights.justice.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional information about the Civil Rights Division is available on its website at www.justice.gov\/crt.

The announcement of his death came a day after provisional results of elections held on April 11 showed he would win a sixth term in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The President of the UN General Assembly, Volkan Bozkir, has also expressed his condolences to the people of Chad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe President said he would soon convene a General Assembly meeting to pay tribute to Mr. Deby\u2019s memory,\u201d his Spokesperson, Brenden Varma, said during his daily briefing from New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RUSSIA<\/strong>: <strong><em>Concern Grows<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>for Longtime<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>Putin Opponent<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council have called for the urgent medical evacuation of detained Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, fearing he is in \u201cserious danger\u201d due to deteriorating health and harsh prison conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe Mr. Navalny\u2019s life is in serious danger,\u201d the UN independent human rights experts said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe has been incarcerated under harsh conditions in a high security penal colony and denied access to adequate medical care. Despite having recently been transferred to a hospital, doctors of his own choosing have not been allowed to visit him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Navalny, a longtime Kremlin critic, was arrested and detained in January when he returned to Russia from Germany, where he was receiving treatment after falling violently ill on a flight in August 2020. Toxicology reports later determined he had been poisoned with Novichok, a Soviet-era nerve agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February he was sentenced to more than two years in prison for alleged parole violations while he was abroad.&nbsp; In early March, reports emerged of a sharp deterioration in his health.&nbsp; Prison authorities reportedly failed to provide him with adequate medical care or to allow his own doctors to visit him, the experts said, citing information they had received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Navalny began a hunger strike in protest on March 31 and was transferred to a prison hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are deeply troubled that Mr. Navalny is being kept in conditions that could amount to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in a facility that reportedly does not meet international standards,\u201d the UN experts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They stressed that under international human rights law, the State bears responsibility for the care and \u201cbodily integrity\u201d of detained persons, irrespective of the reason for their detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian Government must take all necessary measures to protect Mr. Navalny\u2019s physical and mental health, and well-being, they added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are extremely concerned that the current danger to Mr. Navalny\u2019s life, his most recent incarceration and the past attacks on him, including an attempt against his life last August with the nerve agent Novichok, which the Russian authorities have yet to effectively investigate, are all part of a deliberate pattern of retaliation against him for his criticism of the Russian Government and a gross violation of his human rights,\u201d the experts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They urged the authorities to ensure that Mr. Navalny has access to his own doctors, and to allow him to be evacuated abroad for urgent medical treatment, as they did in August 2020. <strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by KS UNITED STATES: Minneapolis P.D.
