* Amnesty International constate depuis près de dix ans que la police a de plus en plus souvent tendance à utiliser une force excessive en réaction aux mouvements de protestation sociale et aux crimes de droit commun.* L’homicide, commis par des policiers lourdement armées, de 34 mineurs en grève à Marikana en août dernier est un exemple extrêmement inquiétant de cette tendance.* Le gouvernement sud-africain doit s’engager publiquement à faire le nécessaire pour que la police cesse d’employer une force excessive et de commettre des homicides ciblés.

“Cette vidéo est choquante. Ces actes consternants, qui sont symptomatiques d’un recours excessif à la force fournissent le dernier exemple en date du comportement brutal de la police en Afrique du Sud, dont le caractère systématique est de plus en plus dérangeant.”

* Amnesty international has documented a trend by police to resort to excessive force in response to social protests and ordinary crime for nearly ten years.* The killing by heavily armed police of 34 striking mine workers at Marikana last August is one extreme example of this trend.* The South African government must make a public commitment to ensure that the police stop the use of excessive force and deliberate targeted killings.
