administration and were given recommendations how to eliminate such
shortcomings and to improve the documentation.
During the visit to PU No. 19 of the noted Office, administrative areas
of the facility were also checked, but no person brought to the custody was
found. While reviewing the registration book on the persons brought to the
police custody, it was found that there were numerous changes in dates and
hours, columns for measures undertaken left unfilled and the documentation
about persons brought to the police custody were neglected.
At the same time, the facilities’ administration were given relevant
suggestions in relation to effective ensuring rights of persons brought to the
police custody and even those, who were considered as suspects. The MIA
requested to the MIA with regard to the outcomes of the visit. 19
During the visit to Surakhani DPO TDP, it were held private meetings
with 3 persons detained in this facility. In the course of the meetings with
detainees, they had not expressed dissatisfaction with detention conditions
and treatment. However, two of them submitted the NPG members their
applications to the Ombudsman about bias criminal investigations.
In the frame of this visit, it was found that general condition in the TDP
was in satisfactory state; however, books on medical and other records were
not well-documented, because there were no bulletin boards in cells
displaying the detainees’ rights and duties and the detainees were not
provided with hygienic cleaning tools. The administrations of Surakhani
DPO and TDP were given appropriate suggestions in respect to the
elimination of the abovementioned shortcomings at the administrative level.
During the visit conducted to Nizami DPO TDP, the NPG got
familiarized with the state of treatment and ensuring the detainees’ rights
and freedoms, custody condition and the documentation confirming the
legality of their detention.
During the conversation with 3 detainees in the facility, despite there
were no complaints about detention condition and treatment, it were
revealed deficiencies in the documentation and in TDP, itself. Hence, cells
have not been supplied with bulletin boards displaying detainees’ rights and
duties and the detained persons were not provided with hygienic cleaning
tools; records on phone calls were not well-documented; medicines in the
medical unit of the facility were out of the date; and although, it was issued
a medical certificate for one of the detainees with regard his medical
examination taking while he was brought to the custody, the personal
medical record book did not display any information in this regard.
