Streamwood cop charged with be
A Streamwood police officer faces charges of aggravated battery and official misconduct after a video from a predawn traffic stop March 28 showed him striking the driver 15 times with his baton and twice using a stun gun on the vehicle's passenger, prosecutors said.

Indonesian police to address H

Indonesian police say they will investigate claims its forces have routinely abused people in the central highlands of Papua.

In a report released yesterday, Human Rights Watch (HRW) accused mobile police brigades of commonly using "excessive, brutal and, at times, lethal force" against civilians.

The report points out only one member of the security forces has faced prosecution over the alleged abuses which include rape, murder and torture.

Indonesia's police chief says he will verify the contents of the report and address any outstanding issues.

A long-running but low-level separatist movement has simmered in the region since the 1960s and the Indonesian government does not permit journalists or rights workers to travel there without special permission.

The HRW report found that Indonesia's feared paramilitary Brimob were responsible for the most serious violations, although some reports of brutal treatment by Indonesian soldiers persisted.

Indonesia's military has for decades been accused by Papuans of committing human rights abuses in the isolated, resource-rich region, but the police have been gradually taking on more of their former security role.
