CAT/C/UKR/CO/6 (d) Ensure that all cases of deaths in custody are investigated promptly, thoroughly, effectively and impartially and that persons suspected of having committed acts of torture, physical or psychological ill-treatment and wilful negligence are prosecuted and, if found guilty, punished in accordance with the gravity of their acts, allow independent forensic examinations of all cases of deaths in custody, permit family members of the deceased to commission independent autopsies and ensure that their results are accepted by the courts in the State party as evidence in criminal and civil cases; (e) Ensure that the Parliamentary Commissioner and other independent mechanisms regularly monitor and visit all places of detention and are able to carry out unannounced visits; (f) Continue to resort more to alternatives to incarceration, taking into account the provisions of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for NonCustodial Measures (Tokyo Rules). Provision of health care in places of detention 20. The Committee is gravely concerned at the serious deterioration of health conditions in prisons and the alarming health situation that includes a high number of inmates who have died of tuberculosis. The Committee is also concerned by the increase in mortality of a large number of detainees suffering from communicable diseases, in particular HIV/AIDS, as a result of overcrowding, poor health care, lack of attention by medical staff to signs and symptoms of illness and negligence in referral to specialist treatment (arts. 2, 10 and 11). The State party should: (a) Examine the adequacy of the health-care resources available in places of detention, ensure that the health-care services and medical assistance provided to detainees and prisoners are speedy and of high quality, in order to bring conditions of detention into line with international standards; (b) Ensure the recruitment of qualified medical personnel; (c) Provide systematic medical screening of injuries and medical examinations of detainees within 24 hours of their admission to prison; carry out periodic examinations of prisoners; make available appropriate treatments, especially for detainees infected with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, including antiretroviral medication; and implement programmes related to the treatment of tuberculosis and the distribution and monitoring of medicines taken in penitentiary facilities throughout the territory of the State party; (d) Improve the quality and quantity of food and water provided to detainees and prisoners and reduce the current overcrowding. Redress, including compensation and rehabilitation 21. The Committee is concerned that there is no explicit provision in domestic legislation and no specific programmes of assistance and support that provide for the right of victims of torture and ill-treatment to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full rehabilitation as possible, as required by article 14 of the Convention (art. 14). The State party should amend its legislation to include explicit provisions on the right of victims of torture and ill-treatment to redress, including fair and adequate compensation and rehabilitation, in accordance with article 14 of the Convention, 9
