A/HRC/16/52/Add.5 for only 15 minutes in the morning, when prisoners had to fill bottles for the day, including for cooking and washing themselves. The poor quality of the food was another source of concern, and some detainees explained that the lack of nutritious value led to physical problems, including problems with eyesight due to a lack of vitamins. Food was provided three times per day, but only detainees in the minimum security block were allowed to produce vegetables. Detainees were not allowed to keep any food provided by their families. Detainees in the general population were only allowed to play rugby once a week. Beatings usually took place upon arrival with wires and stones. Detainees were also kept in the isolation (punishment) cells for three months or longer. During that period they were only allowed out of the cells three times per week 15 minutes each time. At the time of the visit, approximately ten detainees arrived from different police stations. Four had injuries from recent beatings. Whenever the detainees argued amongst each other, they would be beaten by the officers with fan belts, wires, sticks and stones. Collective punishment was also used whenever one of the detainees escaped. When sick, detainees were normally taken to the hospital, although there had been 8 deaths between 2006 and 2008. Individual cases Anton Ronny, aged 18, was arrested on 11 April 2010, after a shop was burgled. Because he was a suspect, he was arrested by six officers from a mobile squad. They beat him with machine guns on the chest and head, and broke one of his ribs. They also threw bush knives at him. He had large scars on his back. He was taken to the Goroka Police Station, where he desperately asked for medical treatment and X-rays. He was refused and he stayed in that condition in his cell for two weeks. The officers told him that because he was a thief he would not be treated and would die in the cell. He added that the officers were never nice. He could not shower and felt dirty when he went to court. His family was in Port Moresby and he would like to be transferred to Bomana in order to be closer to them. However he thought the treatment here was not too bad, that he was not beaten, and that a man would say a prayer for all the detainees each night. He complained that there was nothing to do and wished he could have a television. Jadape Mara, aged 40, was in a detention cell. He had spent three years in jail in Mendi, and seven in Bihute. He had killed a man in his cell in January 2007, and had to spend 21 months in solitary confinement. He had also been beaten with stones and wires and his fingers had been dislocated. He had once helped 36 convicts escape and was punished severely when they caught him. He had also committed another offence five weeks ago for which he was placed in the detention cell. Kevin Tom, aged 23, was arrested by the mobile squad in 2005. They stabbed him and hurt him before taking him to Goroka Police Station. He was refused medical care for a week and his finger, first swollen, became black and had to be amputated. He was released after he was taken to court. He had been arrested a second time on 4 October 2009 and was once again brutally beaten. However, he had not been beaten at Bihute. He noted the sanitation was bad and sick people were not isolated, so he was afraid of getting sick. He noted that the doctor was not properly trained. A male detainee, aged 21, had been arrested in the outskirts of Goroka, where he was pushed, kicked and beaten. He had also been beaten on the face upon arrival at the police station. He had been convicted for possession of marihuana, and was serving a three-month sentence. Frankie Michael, aged 18, had been arrested on 14 May and beaten by 20 police officers with a fan belt and a gun butt on the face, head and back. He was then taken to the Azaro Police Station, where he was kicked and pushed by an officer. During the interrogation, he was beaten but refused to confess. He had been to court the day before, and sentenced to 49
