In most TDFs, access to daylight is limited by the
small size of the window. Window sizes ranged from 10
cm x 45 cm to 1.0 m x 1.20 m.
In cells of 6 (31.6%) TDFs, windows are barred with
double metal bars, which make the penetration of light
and air practically impossible. Examples are TDFs of the
IAB of the Kemin, Jeti-Oguz, and Tup regions.

“Through a window in the cell, the light does not
penetrate. In one room, the window is very tightly
barred, no glass in the window."34
There was a complete lack of windows in the cell in solitary confinement of the TDF of the IAB
of the Issyk-Kul region, as well as in the three cells of the TDF of the IAB of the Jayil region.
Good natural lighting to read and write in
daylight is noted by observers in the TDF of the IAB of
the At-Bashy and Ton regions.

Bedding items
Not all TDFs met the requirement that the
parties must be ensured access to fresh air, regardless
of whether there is artificial ventilation. One reason is
that, as already noted, the windows in the rooms have
small dimensions or are barred with double metal bars,
making the ingress of air virtually impossible.
In 10 (52.6%) TDFs a centralized heating system is
utilized, and in other TDF, individual electric heaters or solid fuel is used.
“In cells, in the offices of employees and the
interrogation room, it is very cold.”35
“The cells are very cold, twilight, nothing besides
36
a bed.”

Observers noted that the right of detainees to the
ability to meet the needs of nature when they need it
and in a clean and decent manner is not provided in
most cases.
