Diagram 13. Location of WCs in TDFs. Toilets located on the territory of TDFs are just dump wells or the floor toilets. Some of them do not have walls or doors and are located in the open-air space of the exercise yard that does not allow for privacy in their needs of nature. For instance, the toilet in the exercise yard of the Issyk-Ata District IAB TDF consists of three holes in the ground with no walls, doors or partitions. The At-Bashy District IAB TDF toilet is located in the corner of the exercise yard and is just the hole in the ground with the size of 1.0 m x 1.0 m, covered with boards, with the partition, but with no doors or roof. The Tokmok IAB TDF toilet is 3 pit latrines in the exercise yard, without walls and doors. The detainees of the Batken District IAB TDF are taken out to the toilet located in the exercise yard. It represents two floor toilets without walls or doors. There is a sink next to the toilet, but there is no water. The observers found that toilets in some TDFs are in a very poor condition. These include the Balykchi and Chon-Alay District IAB TDFs. Toilet in the exercise yard. It must be noted that the time of the monitoring, no toilets had paper for hygiene purposes; nor were there any means for disinfection at. In some TDFs a walk for the prisoners is combined with satisfaction of their needs of nature, and the process of going to the toilet is registered as the walk. For example, in the Uzgen, Kara-Suu and Ton District IAB TDFs the detainees are taken for 10-15 minutes to the walking place with the pit latrines so that they can satisfy the needs of nature and are then brought back to the cells. Bucket for needs. Because of no central sewage system, the administration has to seek funding on an on-going basis to clear the drain holes, because no funds are allocated from the budget for these purposes. This problem entails the violation of the rights of TDF detainees. Example: from the interview with the Head of the Karabuura District IAB TDF: “We do not have money to clear the drain hole the capacity of which is 60 cubic meters. Therefore, we would periodically close water in the cells not to have frequent water drainage.” 42
