INSTITUTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA of Bosnia and Herzegovina informed that the Draft Law on Amendments to the Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was withdrawn from the parliamentary procedure. In the preliminary draft of the new Law on Execution of Criminal Justice Sanctions, the Federal Ministry of Justice incorporated all the provisions contained in the draft law on amendments to the Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.” With regard to the right to conditional release Ombudspersons issued to the Ministry of Justice of Republika Srpska and the Federal Ministry of Justice the following recommendation 308“... with the aim of eliminating discrimination it is necessary that the Ministry takes all measures within its competence for quick and efficient decision-making on the application for conditional release of convicted persons serving a prison sentence in penitentiary institutions of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina based on decisions made by the courts of Republika Srpska …” Ombudspersons emphasize that their recommendation was accepted by the Ministry of Justice of Republika Srpska, where the Republika Srpska Law on Execution of Criminal and Misdemeanor Sanctions 309 was adopted. Article 185 of the said Law reads as follows: ,,(1) In order to encourage the personal efforts to engage in life at large of a prisoner who can reasonably be expected to no longer commit criminal offenses and that their imprisonment has served the purpose of punishment, the prisoner may be released on parole in accordance with the Criminal Code and this Law. (2) Conditional Release Commission (hereinafter: the Commission), appointed by the Minister, shall decide on the conditional release of prisoners serving a prison sentence in the institutions of the Republika Srpska .... Example: The Ombudsman processed a complaint 310filed by the mother of a prisoner serving his sentence in Sarajevo Prison. In her complaint she states that her disabled son (his leg was amputated and he is wearing a prosthesis), stays in an unconditional room, which is full of moisture, in which water leaks from the tiles, there is no hot water, in which there are no hygienic conditions, especially not for people with disabilities. She pointed out that her son was on a hunger strike and that the judge who ordered custody was informed about it, but that nothing had changed. Ombudspersons contacted the director of the Sarajevo Prison by telephone, who explained that the Sarajevo Prison in general had a problem with accommodation capacity, but that they would try to do everything possible to provide better conditions for this detainee. After a while Ombudspersons received a letter 311 whereby they were informed that the detainee in question was transferred to Zenica Prison Detention Unit. Mother of the detainee also contacted the Ombudsman and said that her son is satisfied with accommodation conditions and treatment and that there no further need for the Ombudsman's intervention. 308 P-102/17 Law on the Execution of Criminal and Misdemeanor Santions of Republika Srpska, Official Gazette of Republika Srpska, no. 63/2018 310 Ž-SA-07-470/19 311 A document of the Municipal court in Sarajevo no. 65 0 K 663410 17 K dated 15 May 2019 309 76
