The conditions of conducting interviews with detainees described earlier when police officers and other detainees were present during the meeting serve as yet another factor restraining victims of torture from revealing their true story. After their transfer to pre-trial detention facilities, which report to another body and to which operative officers have a restricted access, victims of torture feel relatively safer and become brave enough to recount those illegal methods that were used against them. Table 10. Torture reports by respondents held in TDFs and PDFs torture reports time period 2 at the moment of actual detention and between actual detention and placement in a TDF during detention in a TDF 3 when taken out of a TDF 1 TDFs PDFs 192 (25.4%) 93 (59.2%) 44 (5.8%) 41 (26.1%) 62 (11.6%) 40 (38.8%) This conclusion is also confirmed by other comparative data presented in the diagram below. The number of torture reports by persons held in PDFs is much higher than the number of torture reports by those placed in TDFs under internal affairs bodies. Diagram 21. Percentage of torture reports before and during detention in TDFs 58
