● To initiate the introduction of an independent medical examination institute, thereby contributing to the abolition of the monopoly activities of the state forensics services; ● To oblige the MoI, SSEP, Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Justice (the state forensic, forensic psychiatric services) to use the Practical Guide to effective documentation of violence, torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, approved by the Ministry of Health for medical examination, inspection and examination of detained persons; ● To facilitate the effective functioning of the Law "On the National Centre for the Prevention of Torture" in the framework of the OPCAT. To oblige the Ministry of Finance to timely allocate funds to the National Centre. Conclusions ■ attempts to reform the law-enforcement bodies of the Kyrgyz Republic, from the time of independence of the country, have not yet fully contributed to the formation of a zerotolerance policy against torture and ill-treatment by the police in the internal affairs bodies; ■ since the system has not changed, working methods of law enforcement officers has not changed also. Chasing crime detection leads to torture and ill-treatment of persons detained on suspicion of committing a crime. ■ there is a serious lack of reliable procedural guarantees during the first hours after the actual detention of a person. The CPC of the Kyrgyz Republic does not regulate preinvestigation under pre-trial proceedings, does not determine the status of those involved in its proceedings, does not provide their rights, and there is no guarantee of these rights. As a consequence, at this stage of the criminal process, persons involved in criminal proceedings, are more at risk of torture. TO THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC Recommendations ● to change the criteria for assessing the activity of the IAB, in order for police to focus not on the case clearance rate, but on public trust and security; ● to conduct regular training programs for employees of operational and investigative activities for instilling a sense of intolerance for torture and ill-treatment. To do this, to attract professional independent experts, who will develop the curriculum and will conduct a series of lectures; ● to provide, as part of judicial reform, a clearly defined procedural status, procedural rights and procedural guarantees of a suspect immediately after the arrest; ● to consider establishing an interrogation room with large tinted windows in each TDF of the IAB. A system of video surveillance with motion sensor that regularly creates an independent record of the room. Operational and investigative staff will communicate in the room and other persons will be able to listen to testimony in the next room.
