Besides the initial meeting with the management authorities of the IECD of Peqin on the above situation, the inspection group has held a long and face-to-face meeting with the inmates who had refused food, obtaining from them a series of data and testimonies about the problems they encountered in penitentiary services. In addition to the foregoing, the inspection group has checked and identified on-site, through penitentiary staff, all claims set forth by complaints of citizens Kastriot Frashëri and Lavdrim Muço, and 10 other inmates at the Penitentiary Institution of Peqin, filed with the People’s Advocate Institution on 08.07.2015. They claimed they were on hunger strike due to degrading conditions and absence of the collective security within the observation premises and non-observance of the hunger strike, claimed by a written petition from the convicts and addressed to the prison administration authorities. While examining the complaints, the Sub-commissioners held minutes of interviews with the complainants Kastriot Frashëri and Lavdrim Muço, and other members of hunger strike, being introduced to the conditions of addressing their requirements by the administration authorities of Peqin IECD. The Sub-commissioners also administered minutes on questioning of medical personnel, psycho-social and security personnel in respect of which a reasonable doubt has arisen that by their actions and omissions they might have prejudiced the rights of complainants. By the end of investigative procedures and operations based on interviews, testimonies and consulting the relevant records, it was proven that the twelve complaining inmates housed in the room number 4 within the observation premises at Peqin IECD, were violated and are still violated the right to peaceful protest for exercising hunger strike, without adoption of their legitimate claim, as a result the non-observation under legal and medical protocols, of the right to exert hunger strike. The direct responsible persons for this violation of the right of inmates were identified the citizens Edlir Kazazi with duty of internal regime specialist, Ordinary Security, Building A and Mr. Besnik Kaptelli, with the duty of chief of security at Peqin IECD. These two citizens had administered the written petition of the prisoners Lavdrim Muço and Kastriot Frashëri, and also of other convicts regarding the approval and creation of proper conditions to exercise hunger strike. However, they had not filed it with the administration authorities of the institution under legal procedures 8 for the administration of petitions-complaints and registration of the claim with the relevant register and notification of the head of Institution. This omission of the above persons has caused suffering, degrading treatment and physical difficulties for the persons on hunger strike, thus causing them health problems due to lack of information and therefore, the omission/inaction of health and psycho-social sector, who had to be informed and immediately put into motion when the hunger strike is approved and formalized by the Institution. However, we deem that even in cases when these services are not officially notified, they should take on their responsibilities and be available and in daily contact with the convicts within the regime, 8 Pursuant to article 8 of the Law no.8283,dated 16.04.1998”On rights and treatment of sentenced persons and pre-trial detainees”. The pre-trial detainees and imprisoned persons are entitled to submit applications and file complaints in relation to law enforcement and internal regulations in the form defined in this law and individually”. Further, article 25 of the General Regulation of Prisons provides for: “The requirements and complaints shall be filed in accordance with the provisions of law on rights and treatment of convicts. Each institution keeps and updates the register of applications or complaints of the convicts and pre-trial detainees, in written and electronic form.” 36
