The Ombudsman immediately wrote to the Chief of Police in
/ei/ /??mb?dzm?n/ /??mi?di?tli/ /r??t/ /tu?/ /e?/ /?i?f/ /?v/ /p??li?s/ /?n/
the district asking him to send a record of the case. There
/e?/ /?d?str?kt/ /?ɑ?sk??/ /h?m/ /tu?/ /s?nd/ /?/ /?r?k??d/ /?v/ /e?/ /ke?s./ /ee?/
was nothing in the record to show that the foreigner's
/w?z/ /?n?θ??/ /?n/ /e?/ /?r?k??d/ /tu?/ /???/ /e?t/ /e?/ /?f?r?n?z/
complaint was justified and the Chief of Police strongly
/k?m?ple?nt/ /w?z/ /???st?fa?d/ /?nd/ /e?/ /?i?f/ /?v/ /p??li?s/ /?str??li/
denied theaccusation. It was impossible for the
/d??na?d/ /ei/ /??kju(?)?ze??(?)n./ /?t/ /w?z/ /?m?p?s?bl/ /f??/ /ei?/
Ombudsman to take action, but when he received a similar
/??mb?dzm?n/ /tu?/ /te?k/ /??k?(?)n,/ /b?t/ /w?n/ /hi?/ /r??si?vd/ /?/ /?s?m?l?/
complaint from another foreigner in the same village, he
/k?m?ple?nt/ /fr?m/ /??n?e?/ /?f?r?n?r/ /?n/ /e?/ /se?m/ /?v?l??,/ /hi?/
immediately sent one of his lawyers to investigate the
/??mi?di?tli/ /s?nt/ /w?n/ /?v/ /h?z/ /?l??j?z/ /tu?/ /?n?v?st?ge?t/ /ei?/
matter. The lawyer ascertained that a policeman had indeed
/?m?t?./ /e?/ /?l??j?r/ /??s??te?nd/ /e?t/ /?/ /p??li?sm?n/ /h?d/ /?n?di?d/
dealt roughly with foreigners on several occasions. The fact
/d?lt/ /?r?fli/ /w?e/ /?f?r?n?z/ /?n/ /?s?vr?l/ /??ke???nz./ /e?/ /f?kt/
that the policeman was prejudiced against foreigners could
/e?t/ /e?/ /p??li?sm?n/ /w?z/ /?pr???d?st/ /??g?nst/ /?f?r?n?z/ /k?d/
not be recorded in the official files. It was only possible for
/n?t/ /bi?/ /r??k??d?d/ /?n/ /ei/ /??f???l/ /fa?lz./ /?t/ /w?z/ /???nli/ /?p?s?bl/ /f??/
the Ombudsman to find this out by sending one of his
/ei/ /??mb?dzm?n/ /tu?/ /fa?nd/ /e?s/ /a?t/ /ba?/ /?s?nd??/ /w?n/ /?v/ /h?z/
representatives to check the facts. The policeman in
/?r?pr??z?nt?t?vz/ /tu?/ /??k/ /e?/ /f?kts./ /e?/ /p??li?sm?n/ /?n/
question was severely reprimanded and was informed that if
/?kw?s??n/ /w?z/ /s??v??li/ /?r?pr?mɑ?nd?d/ /?nd/ /w?z/ /?n?f??md/ /e?t/ /?f/
any further complaints were lodged against him, he would
/??ni/ /?f??e?/ /k?m?ple?nts/ /w??/ /l??d/ /??g?nst/ /h?m,/ /hi?/ /w?d/
be prosecuted. The Ombudsman's prompt action at once
/bi?/ /?pr?s?kju?t?d./ /ei/ /??mb?dzm?nz/ /pr?mpt/ /??k?(?)n/ /?t/ /w?ns/
put an end to an unpleasant practice which might have gone
/p?t/ /?n/ /?nd/ /tu?/ /?n/ /?n?pl?znt/ /?pr?kt?s/ /w??/ /ma?t/ /h?v/ /g?n/
unnoticed.
