In the other two PDFs (PDF No. 24 and PDF No. 25), rooms are available for short-term visits. As
reported by detainees, visits take place on a regular basis.
The meeting room in PDF No. 25 is divided into three sections where detainees have a possibility to
talk freely with their visitors through a screen which consists of metal gauze and organic glass.
Arrangements for leisure
All pre-trial detention facilities covered by the monitoring study have a library; however, due to the
lack of finances, library stocks have not been replenished for a long time. For the same reason,
periodicals, newspapers and magazines are not purchased.
Detainees complained about the lack of books, mentioning that newspapers and magazines arrive
with serious delays and with outdated information.
It is allowed to have private TVs and radio sets in all pre-trial detention facilities.
The cells for women in PDF No. 25 were equipped with TV sets purchased with financial support
by the OSCE Centre in Bishkek.
Medical care
Unlike medical and sanitary support for TDFs under internal affairs bodies, the SSEP under the
Government of the Kyrgyz Republic has its own centralized medical and sanitary support system
which is responsible for medical and sanitary units in pre-trial detention facilities.
Every PDF has its own medical and sanitary unit (MSU).
