Key issues that can be viewed as ill-treatments identified at Chernihiv TAC in 2014 The TAC administration continues to restrict access to communication with the outside world to persons detained at the TAC, in particular with the family members. For instance, there is an ongoing practice of confiscating mobile phones with photo and video cameras during placement to the TAC. Short-term use is only permitted upon approval by the director of the facility. Since the TAC is not a facility for execution of punishments, and persons held therein were subjected to administrative sanctions prior to their placement to the TAC, such restriction is clearly disproportionate to the violation. However, on the positive note, the administration does not prohibit migrants from using mobile phones without photo and video cameras. The issue related to lack of qualified medical personnel was solved only to some extent. During the year, administration of Chernihiv TAC did not succeed in hiring a nurse for at least one of the three vacant positions. Medical assistance is provided by one nurse and general specialist working part-time and visiting the center 1-2 times per week. The foreigners did not receive printed leaflets on the rights and duties of foreigners, internal TAC regulations, calls from the payphone and other useful information that would support quick adaptation of foreigners in conditions of isolation. Despite assertions of the administration and presentation of a printed copy of the leaflet, the monitoring group did not see these leaflets with any of the foreigners. Despite the fact that foreigners have already served punishment for the violation, they are deprived of the right to keep personal valuable belongings with them (documents, precious metals goods, personal money etc.). The above belongings are necessarily confiscated during placement to the TAC and kept at a designated premise of the facility. Room for storing personal belongings of foreigners 147
