Urgent efforts should be made to review the situation of detainees in
Bluefields and to consider the possibility of setting up a new prison system capable of
accommodating many of those currently being held in police cells. In the meantime, urgent
measures should be taken to relieve congestion in the police cells. Although the Working
Group did not visit Puerto Cabezas, it would also recommend the construction of a
detention facility in that centre, given that it currently lacks such a facility;
(f)
Nicaragua should continue the process of democratic consolidation launched
in 1987 through promulgation of its Political Constitution and in particular the processes of
judicial reform and the reform of its criminal procedure. Efforts should also be made to
combat crime and violence through policies that are respectful of human rights; through
prevention programmes and by equipping the judiciary, the Office of the Public
Prosecutor, the police and the Public Defender’s Office with the necessary resources, tools
and equipment for them to perform their tasks effectively.
