this country is as big of a mess as the United States. Look at this page, which was archived by our "state department:"

https://2021-2025.state.gov/reports/2023-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/mongolia/

Especially look at Section C:

c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and Other Related Abuses
The law prohibited such practices. Nevertheless, the quasigovernmental National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) reported some prisoners and detainees were subjected to unnecessary force and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, particularly to obtain confessions.

Responsibility for investigating allegations of torture and abuse was assigned to either local police or the Independent Authority Against Corruption, with the anti-corruption authority generally responsible for crimes committed while on duty. The prosecutor’s office oversaw such investigations.

Please note this section goes back to 2023, but if you even just skim this page, it doesn't look like the situation has gotten any better.
