away from each other. He cannot afford to come and see me here in Y in the visiting room. Between the remand prison in X and here, I do not understand the relentless treatment I am subjected to. Madam Directress, I turn to you as I am in despair and hope that you will be able to help me. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully." Exercising the right to vote "Dear Madam, I referred to you on 30 March concerning refusal of permission. I would now like to tell you of the consequences regarding authorisation for me to go to the polling station located within walking distance of the X prison complex. As I told you before, I started taking the necessary steps to be able to vote in the presidential elections last October. I put down my address as the prison complex and asked to be registered on the electoral rolls. Since then, I have received my voting card. I asked for permission to go to the polling station within walking distance of the prison. A prison visitor agreed to accompany me when I went to vote. In my request, I said that I agreed to have an escort if required. My request was refused for the single reason that my release date was too far off, even though I have been eligible for permission to go outside since February 2015, and for release on parole as from the 27th of this month. I appealed against the order as the reason given did not take account of my character or my behaviour in prison. It was confirmed on appeal, without the President of the Chamber for Enforcement of Sentences’ order giving any other reason. The order refuted my assertion that this was a violation of a "legitimate use of [my] right to vote", as I would be able "to take the necessary steps to appoint a proxy". This decision obliged the prison administration to provide me with the means to do so. It turns out that the prison complex does not provide any information or implement any measure enabling prisoners to vote by proxy. In spite of the steps I have taken and my repeated requests (see attached copies of letters), I am still unable to vote by proxy. I have received no reply to my letters. On Thursday 13 April, a prison guard informed me in passing that a judicial police officer would be coming by the next day to pick up my proxy. I told the guard that I had asked to be able to meet people likely to vote for the candidate of my choice. He told me that the administration had designated four people to act as proxies and that I had to choose one of them, without meeting any of them and without knowing who they were going to vote for. I told him that this was known as vote-rigging. He asked me if I wanted to see the judicial police officer or not. I replied that I did want to meet him in order to lodge a complaint regarding vote-rigging. I was not called on Friday when the officer came by. Yours faithfully." Exercise of fundamental rights during enforced hospitalisation "To the attention of the Chief Inspector of places of deprivation of liberty, Dear Madam, My fundamental rights are being violated at this very moment by my being put here on the orders of X, as I wanted to go to hospital and even planned to do so under my own steam. The situation disturbs me deeply. My fundamental rights are also being violated by my being made to wear clothing supplied by the hospital when I have my own; I have not got the right to go home and get them either. My fundamental rights are also being violated by my not having the right to move freely around the hospital and the city of X or to go and stay at home. Respectfully, […]" 144
