Myanmar Human Rights Commission is compiling a paper suggesting reform in Myanmar Police Force. 

The paper will include police history, ongoing difficulties and challenges, human rights violations caused by police activities and how to solve those problems, said MHRC member Yu Lwin Aung. 

"The draft paper has been finished. The paper will also highlight police reluctance to open cases over some complaints, torture during interrogation and partiality, and human rights violations caused by them as well as poor salary and lack of accommodation for police. 

Yu Lwin Aung said suggestions would be included in the paper so that those difficulties and problems could be solved. 

During a debate over police reform organized by DVB news agency on 20 July, Khin Zaw, secretary of the Union Legal Support Team, said most complaints were related to police failure to open cases while the second issue was related to police delays in exposing suspects. 

The team is working to deal with those delays without charging any fees. 

"The problem people are facing today is that police are reluctant to open cases because they want to show crime reduction through decreasing digits," said Khin Zaw.  

The complaints related to police activities are the third largest number among those reaching MHRC. 

During the debate former Police Captain Moe Yan Naing said: "Every case coming to a police station is not true. But police cannot take effective action. This harms police dignity."
