The arrest of former President N.Enkhbayar where a police raid stormed his home, orchestrated by the Anti -Corruption Authority (ACA), was the most sensational in Mongolian political life this past year. Video footage of former President N.Enkhbayar`s arrest where he was forcefully carried by special forces staff from home was shown to the public inflaming anger.

However, the former president who was in custody in connection with corruption and power abuse charges received a Presidential pardon from the re-elected Ts. Elbegdorj and is now receiving treatment abroad. Issues related to the arrest are still in process. Supporters and members of the Mongolian People`s Revolutionary Party (MPRP) complained to the National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia  saying the arrest by the Anti -Corruption Authority (ACA), Police and Special Force violated the former President”s immunity and was politically motivated.

The complaint also suggested that the arrest violated the International Convention against torture and several laws of Mongolia.

The National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia approached the Department of Investigation under the State General Prosecutor”s Office regarding the complaints over the former President`s arrest violation.

The Chief Commissioner and Executive Director of the National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia J.Byambadorj said that the police raid during the arrest of the former President broke several laws of Mongolia.  But the National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia has no power to be involved in the investigation except to receive complaints over rights violations.

MPRP members are pressuring for fair justice over the issues of the arrest violations from the legislature. The Department of Investigation under the State General Prosecutor”s Office refuses to give information about the investigation process.
