A/HRC/13/39/Add.4 the lack of sufficient medicine and the fact that he had to sit in the dark without electric light in the big dormitory after 7 p.m. when the doors were locked. Male detainee had been transferred to Evinayong Prison in 2004; before that, he had been held in Bata Prison starting from 1997. He had no major complaints about the prison. He found the food insufficient and indicated that, while detainees could see a doctor if needed, they were not provided with medicine. When he was arrested, the police tied his hands and feet together behind his back and beat him all over his body for about two hours. He was also suspended, which left deep wounds. He had two lawyers, but they did not do their job. When he made allegations of torture during the trial, the judge did not react. At the beginning he had been held at a small gendarmerie post. Gendarmerie Post Evinayong Visited on 15 November 2008 General information: The officer in charge, Corporal Lucas Ntutum, said he had been working at the gendarmerie post since 2005; he had been officer in charge after his superior had left one month earlier.

At the gendarmerie the Special Rapporteur was received by Luis Ndong (Brigadier) and Egulocio Ndong (Teniente, Chief of Brigade). A register was kept in the same clear manner as in other gendarmerie posts. It showed no entry for 2008. The Special Rapporteur was however told that, if a person was arrested, he/she would be detained at the military camp across the road.
