AbstractThis paper aims to consider some problems that challenge the criminal investigation of the cases of death in custody. While the complainants want their complaint to be recognized by the criminal justice system, systematic creation of some challenges marginalizes them and finally limit their access to justice in this kind of case. Reversing the truth, victim defamation, the control of the state on media, and arbitrary directing of the related news to the event as well as early comments of authorities before any independent investigation are some examples of the challenges ahead of the criminal investigation of death cases in prison. The paper along with using related sources to the issue of death in custody, by analyzing the content of reports, information and news as well as discourse analyzing of officials in relation to 12 cases of death in custody/prison in Iran, analyze the investigation challenges that concern the victim’s families of death in custody. Data analyzing of 12 cases of Iran show that reversing the truths related to the surrounding condition of the death and adumbrate of the event, makes it difficult to detect the real cause of the death. On the other side, defaming the victim and smearing his/her dignity or his/her family’s, distracts the attention from the misconducts of the prison officials to the failure of the victim him/herself and induces the deservedness of their death. In the same way, lack of liberty for media in reflection of the related news of cases, and bias the dependent media to the political system that generally express the cautious attitudes of the authorities, decrease the transparency of these cases. Finally, the early comments of authorities surrounding the cause of the deaths, challenge the possibility of an independent investigation in reaching to a different result of that comment.

Request for criminal or criminal prosecution of cross-border offenses in the territory of the European Union has a pattern of mutual cooperation, the principle of mutual recognition and the provision of criminal investigations. This is an alternative approach to the Transnational Criminal Procedure Code and to the harmonization of the internal rules of the member states of the European Union, which now does not provide for the conditions for its implementation in the European Union. It is believed that the field of harmonization of the domestic laws of member states is consistent with the principles of the criminal procedure with the experience of mutual cooperation, mutual identification and criminal investigation. However, the principle of mutual recognition and criminal investigations has serious gaps that, until these problems are resolved, there is no prospect of harmonizing the internal laws of the member states. Mutual identification or criminal investigation of non-criminal acts that are subject to the termination of the law, differences in the standards of criminal law, or in conflict with national sovereignty and red lines have failed. Same is true of the adoption of the Transnational Criminal Procedure Act and the harmonization of the laws of member states in the future.

Abstract Criminal Investigation Rights focuses on laws and regulations to discuss crime detection, identification of the accused, proof of delinquency, identification of the victim and determination of material and moral damage to him. Criminal investigation processes begin with a victim's complaint, the announcement of official and informal officials, information by legal and natural persons, victim supporters, or the detection of a crime by the police. The main challenge at this stage is the lack of complaints and the reporting of victim to the police and criminal justice institutions. Victimization examination and crime scene investigation are the main axis of the criminal investigation law. The testimony of intuition, testimonials, and expert reports are effective in discovering the truth and proving criminal misconduct, which is always part of the topic of criminal investigation rights. In the past, the law of criminal investigations focused on delinquent, victim studies have caused criminal investigations to pay attention to the role of the victim.
