More than 6,000 human rights brochures were produced for distribution across the CSI’s AORs. They contain information for residents on their legal rights and protections under the law. By increasing public awareness on their rights, it was expected that the likelihood of violations escaping recognition would be reduced. To increase transparency of police actions and ensure that no violations of human rights take place, CSI installed surveillance cameras in five police stations and the police detention centre in Jalal-Abad province, and in three police stations in Osh city. With consultative support from CSI, Leylek police station also installed security cameras in the pre-detention centre. The installation of cameras has been accompanied with necessary training of police officers on the purpose and proper usage of the cameras and the recordings. Representatives of the Kyrgyz Republic’s Ombudsman office, together with CSI personnel took part in MPR trips to remote rural areas as well as to areas with mixed ethnicity composition. During these visits, the Ombudsman office’s representatives were able to collect information connected with possible misbehavior of local law enforcement bodies. 141
