Human rights body probes garda behaviour

THE Human Rights Commission is to examine a dossier from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties concerning the behaviour of gardaí at the recent May Day clashes with protesters at Phoenix Park.

The State's official human rights watchdog will today receive the ICCL's document, which details a series of allegations against gardaí.

The Human Rights Commission has already decided to assign a senior case worker to examine a file on specific instances of possible alleged abuse by gardaí.
