The National Gendarmerie has announced the launch of an immediate investigation following the circulation of a video on social media. The video purportedly shows a citizen with visible injuries, alleging an assault by a member of the National Gendarmerie.
In a statement released today, the Gendarmerie Command affirmed that the investigation aims to thoroughly examine the facts, determine responsibilities, and implement all necessary legal measures. The Command emphasized that such actions, if proven true, represent isolated incidents and do not reflect the professional values and discipline that characterize the National Gendarmerie.
The Gendarmerie Command reiterated its categorical rejection of any behavior that tarnishes the reputation of the security apparatus, whose primary mission is to protect citizens and their property. They stated that their daily interactions with the public are based on discipline and responsibility.
The statement further encouraged citizens to utilize official reporting channels, including the pre-complaint and remote inquiry website, and the green number 1055. The ‘My Way’ page, dedicated to communication and reporting, is also available for public use.
DZWatch will continue to follow this developing story and provide updates as they become available.
