A/HRC/16/52/Add.5 Appendix Places of detention visited and interviews conducted Introduction The Special Rapporteur conducted unannounced visits to detention facilities and was able to hold private interviews with detainees in all facilities he visited. 20 If detainees did not wish that their interviews are recorded, the information provided is only reflected in the general findings of the report. Some detainees only agreed to an anonymous publication of their interviews. The individual interviews do not contain established facts but allegations by detainees deemed to be credible and consistent by the Special Rapporteur. It is indicated if these allegations were corroborated by forensic examinations, witness testimonies or other evidence. Bomana Correctional Facility, Port Moresby Visited on 15 May 2010 General information The Special Rapporteur was received by CIP Agnes Kinjil, who had not been informed of the Special Rapporteur’s presence in the country. Bomana prison comprised a general section which included remandees as well as convicted prisoners, a separate section for juveniles and another section for female detainees. Detainees deemed to be high risk were held in a “separate confinement” section known as MSI (Maximum Security Institution). There were less than 30 female detainees, and less than 30 juvenile detainees. General section There were 404 detainees in the general section. They were confined to their dormitories from 4:30 p.m. to 7 a.m., when roll-call took place and breakfast was distributed. At approximately 4:30 p.m., the dormitories were locked again. During the day, detainees could move freely between the dormitories. Remandees and convicts were not separated. There are only three guards for the entire general section, and it seemed that there was some understanding by the detainees of the difficult situation regarding manpower. Visits took place on Saturdays (remandees) and Sundays (convicted) and lasted approximately 30 20 20 Baisu Correctional Institution, Mount Hagen, Western Highlands Province; Barawagi Correctional Institution, Kundiawa, Simbu Province; Bihute Correctional Institution, Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province; Bomana Correctional Institution, National Capital District (visited twice); Mukrumanda Correctional Institution, Enga Province; Hohola Remand Centre for Juveniles, National Capital District; Arawa Police Station, Bougainville Autonomous Region (visited twice); Boroko Police Station, National Capital District (visited twice); Buka Police Station, Bougainville Autonomous Region; Goroka Police Station, Eastern Highlands Province (visited three times); Kundiawa Police Station, Simbu Province (visited twice); Mount Hagen Police Station, Western Highlands Province; Wabag Police Station, Enga Province; Wakunai Community Justice Centre, Bougainville Autonomous Region; Laloki Psychiatric Hospital, National Capital District; Arawa Women’s Training Centre, Bougainville Autonomous Region; Rehabilitation Centre for Persons with Disabilities, National Capital District; SHB Socay Training Institute, Hohola, National Capital District; Kup Women for Peace Mediation Centre, Kup, Simbu Province; and Five-Mile Ridge Settlement, National Capital District.
