TORTURE AND DETENTION "
Report of the Special Rapporteur on the question of torture, Theo van Boven, submitted pursuant to Commission resolution 2002/38)

" (...) Stefan Neisius reportedly died in a Cologne hospital on 24 May 2002. He had been admitted to hospital on 11 May 2002 after having allegedly been ill-treated by several police officers of Cologne’s First Police Inspectorate (Polizeinspektion 1) at Eigelstein Police Station earlier the same evening. With the help of police reinforcements and through the use of pepper-spray, police officers reportedly restrained Stefan Neisius, placing him in handcuffs and brutally beating him. Two police officers reportedly made statements confirming the ill-treatment of Stefan Neisius at the police station. They reportedly stated that they had witnessed police officers surrounding Stefan Neisius, as he lay handcuffed on the floor of the police station, and repeatedly kicking him in the head, body, arms and legs. Due to the severity of his bleeding, he was reportedly taken to a Cologne hospital where he went into a coma. According to a statement made on 24 May 2002 by the Chief of Cologne Police, a special investigative commission had been established under the guidance of the Public Prosecutors’ Office to examine the allegations of police ill-treatment. Six police officers were reportedly suspended from service shortly after the allegations of ill-treatment came to light on suspicion of having physically assaulted Stefan Neisius."
