The Council of Ministers with the Council of Europe has adopted a resolution calling on the Bulgarian authorities to introduce video recordings of the interrogations of detained citizens, BTA reports. 
A call has been made to ensure that detainees have access to a lawyer during interrogations at the police station. The European Council insists on the provision of prompt and quality medical care, as well as the certification of injuries received during police detention or other places of imprisonment. It is also proposed to introduce an automatic system at the prosecutor's office for reviewing complaints against police violence and data from medical certificates issued after police arrest.
