Example: Head of the Suzak District IAB TDF shared that no funds for sanitary & epidemiological work are allocated. “To the contrary, the city IAB allocates only an insignificant amount of money to the Sanitary and epidemiological service in accordance with the agreement.” On the day of the monitoring, sanitary & epidemiological work was underway in the TDF. Example: The administration of the Ala-Buka District IAB TDF said there were no funds for sanitary & epidemiological work. Yet, an agreement was signed by and between the IAB and the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service whereby these works shall be performed in the TDF once a month. It must be stressed that, despite the numerous breaches of the law and international standards revealed in the IAB TDFs of the country, six TDFs were noted by the observers as institutions that best of all have come close to the international standards of detention conditions by such criteria as the status and equipment of cells, lighting, heating, and the possibility of providing walks etc. These include: • IADT TDF, • Talas Oblast IAD TDF, • Panfilov District IAB TDF, • Ton District IAB TDF, • Mailu-Suu city IAB TDF, and • Kara-Kul IAB TDF. In general, based on the results of the examination of the housing & living and sanitary & hygiene conditions of detainees, it can be concluded that the absolute majority of IAB TDFs of the country do not meet the requirements set out by the international standards pertaining to rights of prisoners to humane detention conditions, and the prisoners are held in the TDFs in degrading conditions.
