measures or as a result of urging by the Commissioner to the MIA, the
successful approach was displayed.
Within the frames of this cooperation upon our appeals the replies were
received on improving current detention conditions in temporary detention
places in compliance with modern standards, continuation of measures on
improving material – technical basis, bettering the treatment of detainees,
conduction of documentation in relevant registration journals, carrying out
of appropriate measures for elimination of revealed shortcomings in the first
medical examination and aid and of cases causing them, strengthening the
control over the work of temporary detention places.
During the visit conducted by the NPG members to Yasamal DPO TDP
in 2015, it was revealed that the building of the temporary detention place
was in emergency condition; deep cracks in main bearing beams, subsidence
of the cells and corridor were observed. In this regard the Commissioner
urged to the Minister of Internal Affairs and upon this the exploitation of
that building was stopped. That TDP closed for repairing was given into
exploitation in 2016 after conclusion of reconstruction works.
A group of police staff of the internal affairs bodies were brought to an
administrative responsibility for allowing insufficiencies in their service.
Thus, the deputy head of Binagadi DPO PU No.5 E. Azizov, district police

behavior in intercourse with him, were drawn to administrative
responsibility.
The service investigation was conducted with regard the slight selfinjuring by the citizen P. Aliyev detained in Binagadi DPO TDP with razor

As a result relevant staff members of Binagadi DPO TDP were brought to
administrative responsibility for irresponsible attitude while implementation
of service duties. Such examples can be also shownmone.

interrogate the persons suspected in committing crime. But these powers
should not have a threat of frightening, ill treatment. This is a matter of
crucial importance that the police should decrease to absolute minimum this
threat while executing his/her duties.
The CPT considers that the fundamental safeguards granted to persons
in police custody would be reinforced (and the work of police officers quite

exist for each person detained, on which would be recorded all aspects of
his custody and action taken regarding them (when deprived of liberty and
