Independent assessor of military complaints procedures in Northern Ireland: first annual report 1 January 1993-31 December 1993. HC369 HMSO 1994 pp42 8.25. The "independence" of the assessor can be evaluated by his remarks on unsatisfactory replies to complaints: "Those who are believed to be associated with a terrorist organisation will properly attract the attention of the security forces. They are therefore likely to be stopped and questioned or searched more often than others and thus feel they are being unduly harassed. If they complain the investigation will indicate that they have been frequently stopped questioned or searched but the reply will not state the underlying reason. In such cases replies will inevitably appear somewhat bland but the complainants should have a good idea why they have been "harassed" (our emphasis).
