Chapter 2 - Report of the Complaints, Monitoring and Inquiries Group
III. LOOKING FORWARD
In the year ahead, the Complaints and Monitoring Division will step up efforts in handling
issues related to children in immigration detention centres, and to cases of death in custody
upon notification by the police. It hopes to work closely with the authorities and civil society
groups in addressing these issues more effectively. More systematic visits will be organised to
places of detention. In line with the Commission’s decision to embark on work on children with
learning disabilities and elderly persons, the Division will visit relevant facilities, such as homes
for the elderly, in the year ahead.
The Inquiries Division will publish the Report of the Public Inquiry into Incidents During and
After the 28 April 2012 Public Assembly. It will also pursue discussion of the Commission’s
recommendations in relation to previous Public Inquiries. Close attention will be paid to the
right of citizens to assemble peacefully, and to the efforts of both the authorities and organisers
to ensure that this democratic right is upheld and respected.
