and after being transferred to the PDF, wrote a statement. But by that time, the indicia of
injuries have dissipated or disappeared.
In the case of a transfer of TDFs to the jurisdiction of the SSEP, employees will not accept a
detainee without prior medical examination.
The National Centre is certain that the transfer of TDFs to the jurisdiction of the SSEP will
lead to systemic change in the prevention of torture.
Recommendations to the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic
To take urgent steps to establish surveillance in all TDFs, PDFs, in the corridors of law
enforcement, where the offices of investigators, security officers, and district inspectors are
located.
Implementation of recommendations
Partially implemented
In paragraph 26 of the Action Plan, the following is stated: "To develop a step by step Plan
for the establishment of surveillance cells in all TDF, PDF, in the corridors of the location of the
law enforcement offices, security officers, district inspectors with identification of the sources
of funding."
By the end of 2014, cameras were installed in the following state bodies of the Kyrgyz
Republic:
MoI: since 2003, 210 are installed in cells;
SCNS: TDFs and PDFs are equipped with video cameras. The amount is not known;
SSEP: In Circulation Control Office of PDFs, a video surveillance system is installed. In
PDF-1 in Bishkek City in secure enclosures, video cameras to monitor output in the
control room of the Central Office of the SSEP are installed. The establishment of video
cameras in other institutions of the SSEP is planned.
SSDC: twenty-four-hour surveillance is installed in the TDFs.
Opinion of the National Centre
The National Centre believes that the video cameras must be connected to the central
office of the relevant departments, in which an independent continuous recording with video
surveillance cameras is carried out, in order to avoid deletion or change of the record from a
video camera by employees of the agency.
