Registry of confiscated valuable belongings and safe with storage cells
During the first monitoring visit in August, the foreigners (except for Afghani
citizens) were deprived of the possibility to view any TV programs: the TV with
satellite reception at the psychological relaxation room was not working. The only
functioning TV was in the room of Afghani citizens.
The sanitary condition of the bathroom, shower, and toilet during both visits was
unsatisfactory. Administration appoints foreigners living on the relevant floor for daily
cleaning of these premises.

According to the records on TAC personnel trainings, there were three sessions
titled “Convention against torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman, or degrading
treatment and punishment” held in 2014. However, interviews with the guards showed
the lack of knowledge in the field of prevention of torture and ill-treatment.
There are two staff positions of interpreters at Chernihiv TAC, and only one of
them is filled with a person fluent in English and French, whereas the other one has
been vacant for a long time. As a result, there is a language barrier between the
personnel and foreigners affecting the treatment of migrants in negative way.
Three rooms for multiple-persons accommodation (## 301, 308, 309) have only
2.5 sq. m. per one person instead of 7 sq. m. provided by the minimum international
standards.
