CAT/C/GIN/CO/1 (d) Taking preventive measures to avoid the spread of infectious disease caused by uncleanliness in places of detention and ensuring that detainees have prompt access to qualified medical personnel; (e) Ensuring that prison staff are trained and that their wages are paid by the State or the penal facilities, and not by prisoners or members of their families, and taking all necessary measures to combat widespread corruption in the prison environment. Pending its ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and the implementation of the national preventive mechanism, the State party should also establish a national monitoring system for all places of detention, and cooperate with non-governmental organizations for this purpose, in particular by giving them access to facilities for the deprivation of liberty. Secret detention facilities 15. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the delegation to the effect that there are no longer any secret detention facilities in the State party. It is nevertheless concerned at reports that some persons are still being held in unofficial detention centres, including the military prison on Kassa Island, which was supposed to have been officially closed in January 2010. The Committee is also concerned by the case of 33 persons arrested on 24 and 25 September 2013 in Conakry who were transferred and secretly detained at the Soronkony military camp for more than a week. These detainees were subjected to numerous acts of torture, and one of them died. Despite the compensation of 50 million Guinean francs paid to the victims, the Committee deplores that the application made by the Prosecutor’s Office to the Dixinn Court of first instance is still awaiting the opening of judicial proceedings against the perpetrators (arts. 2, 11 and 12). The State party should: (a) Close, as a matter of urgency, the secret detention facilities and ensure that the persons detained there enjoy all legal guarantees, particularly as regards the right to be brought before a judge within a maximum of 48 hours after being arrested or detained, the right to consult a lawyer of their choice and the right to be examined by a doctor, preferably of their choice; (b) Investigate and ensure that no person is detained in secret or unofficial detention facilities, prevent any type of unlawful detention on its territory and investigate any allegations relating to such incidents; (c) Ensure that detention takes place in an official detention facility and that the identity of the detainee and the place of detention are recorded in a central register that may be consulted by the persons concerned. Violence against women 16. The Committee is extremely concerned at reports of widespread violence affecting more than 90 per cent of women and girls. It deplores that prompt and effective investigations are conducted only rarely because of, inter alia, the difficulties that victims of sexual violence or domestic violence have in gaining access to justice and the lack of shelters where they can take refuge. The Committee is extremely concerned that articles 321 and 322 of the Criminal Code classify rape and sexual abuse, which are extremely widespread, as “immoral acts” and “indecent assault”, respectively, and not as crimes against the person, particularly given the impunity that prevails in this area, whether they are committed by law enforcement officers or by private individuals (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16).
