84 11. Groups of persons deprived of their liberty at the places of detention In the 12 two-bed and three four-bed cells, the tables fixed to the floor were unsafe and hindered free movement. The cells received little natural light and, in many places, the light bulbs were missing from the lamps. There were no separate toilet and shower rooms in the cells. The air in the common bathroom was damp, the walls and the equipment were moldy. The building had been renovated 2–3 years prior to the visit. The conditions in the cells, the lack of natural light, the bad artificial lighting, and the dilapidated condition of the restrooms jeopardized the enforcement of the prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment. The staff ’s office and recreational rooms (e.g., the kitchen) did not receive enough natural light, either, artificial lighting had to be used even during daytime. On the second floor, one of the guards’ recreation rooms had no window, so it lacked natural lighting and ventilation. The conditions found on the premises of the Holding Facility of the NBI NPHQ caused an impropriety related to the personnel’s right to human dignity.
