Alongside with this, the practical application of several norms of the legislation basing on the international standards was achieved. Thus, according to the Rules on rendering of medical and psychological care to detained or arrested persons, as well as their detention in medical facilities affirmed by the Decision No. 67 of the Cabinet of Ministers dated April 18, 2013, medical staff performs medical examination without participation of others. In exceptional circumstances, such examination is conducted with participation of a police officer to ensure security of physician and to avoid that the detainee causes harm to himself. With regard to this question, according to the response letters by the MIA, revealed drawbacks were eliminated; all regional police bodies were supplied with books on medical records; also separate team of physicians was allocated to regional health institutions to take preliminary medical examination; furthermore, the necessary measures were undertaken jointly by the MIA and Ministry of Health (MH). According to the legislation, before placement in TDPs, the detained and arrested persons are subjected to medical examination and personal hygiene treatment; as well as information about refusal from medical requests or aid is officially recorded. According to the medical certificate, the detainees, whose custody conditionsare not considered advisable, are sent under the escort to the health institutions of MH for medical treatment. The important issues like strict adherence to rule of law and ensuring human rights and freedoms in the process of bringing in, detention and application of disciplinary measures in police custody were kept under the control by MIA based on the recommendations and proposals of the NPM. Consequently, it was detected that as it was mentioned above in most TDPs the detention conditions were brought into compliance with international standards; new detention places were constructed; the number of claims of cruel treatment during preliminary detention decreased; relevant normative legal acts were improved from human rights standpoint; the control and care over detention places were strengthened; as well as other positive developments have been achieved. Regarding the revealed delinquencies, the motions to MIA by Commissioner as the NPM, have been focused attention on; the delinquencies were eliminated; guilty persons were punished under the legislation and the police bodies were informed accordingly, which is a contribution to an efficient cooperation. The NPG members held visit without prior notification to Absheron DPO TPD in compliance with the OPCAT demands. During this visit all cells of the TDP were monitored, the detainees were received individually, as well as relevant documentation and registration journals were revised. 17
