Title: Use of Police Powers for Profit: including the cases of Abdur Razzak, Bangladesh & Sugath Fernando, Sri Lanka also Burma, Pakistan, Philippines

Summary: This report deals with the way in which police in various countries in Asia abuse the criminal justice process and their powers of arrest and detention to make a profit and harass individuals for petty reasons rather than investigate crime. In most parts of Asia there are no mechanisms for complaints against police. This edition of article 2 documents several cases to illustrate this practice, including examples from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Pakistan.
