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.”
