Rights and Freedoms of Persons kept in the Places of Detention were violated. Thus, according to the court decision the arrested person cannot be kept in the temporary detention place for more than 24 hours and before this term expires, he/she should be transferred to the investigation isolator (the period of escorting the persons to the investigation isolator in transport vehicles is not included into this period)34. In general, as it is mentioned in the CPT reports, it is essential to the good functioning of society that the police have the powers to apprehend, temporarily detain and question criminal suspects and other categories of persons.

The existence of certain problems was observed in 2016 year as well in realization of the rights of persons deprived of liberty regarding their correspondence in the penitentiary institutions. Such cases are witnessed in both the penitentiary institutions and investigation isolators. Thus, it was observed that the applications of persons deprived of liberty sent to their lawyers, bodies controlling the activity of penitentiary institutions and the Commissioner, as well as replied from these bodies passed censorship with break of confidentiality. The majority of applications from the penitentiary institutions are received with accompanying letter signed by the heads of the institutions and a letter sent in a closed envelope to an accused or a convicted person are added to their personal files after being opened and given to the prisoner for being acquainted with.
