Presumably, these confinement conditions can provoke frequent escapes. Staff of the National Centre witnessed escapes. During one of the visits, one patient tried to escape from the National Mental Hospital in Chym-Korgon village. According to him, he was caught by the sanitary assistant of the institution and beaten in the temporal fossa part of the left side of the head, the effect of which was recorded (see photo). This case was recorded; the injured person refused to file an application for fear of being punished after staff of the National Centre left. Or, for example, at the time of the next visit to these facilities, one of the patients was unreasonably beaten by a nurse with the iron post of the window frame. The result of this incident was recorded by the staff of the National Centre and by the management of the psychiatric institution; measures of removal of the employee from his position were taken. 2.3 . The right to legal protection UN Basic Principles regarding the role of lawyers secure the right of everyone to seek help from a lawyer of their choice to protect and defend their rights and to maintain protection at all stages of the criminal process. The arrested, shortly after his/her arrest, should be informed by the competent authority about this right. If the arrested does not have a lawyer of his/her choice, he/she, in all cases where the interests of justice so require, shall have the right to have a lawyer appointed for him/her by a judicial or other authority, without payment by him/her if he/she does not have sufficient funds.19 The ICCPR provides that in the determination of any criminal charge against a person, he/she shall have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of his defense and to communicate with a lawyer of his own choosing and to be tried in the presence of the lawyer, and to defend himself in person or through legal assistance of his own choosing; to be informed, if he does not have legal assistance, of this right; and to have legal assistance assigned to him, in any case where the interests of justice so require, and without payment by him in any such case if he does not have sufficient means to pay for it. 20 19 20 UN Basic Principles, Principle 18.
