A/HRC/16/52/Add.5 five and seven days had been taken to court. Two of the detainees reported having been beaten during arrest. The register was not bad, but incomplete, since the prosecutor either forgot to complete it or the officers would release some detainees without registering them. At the time of the visit, there were three detainees in the lock-ups who were not in the register. During the debriefing with the Special Rapporteur, Mr. Aul complained about a lack of attention from Port Moresby regarding the challenges and limited resources of the police in Wabag. According to Mr. Aul, there were 150 police officers under the command of the provincial headquarters in Wabag, responsible for a population of almost 200,000. The police force only had 20 cars at their disposal, and had received their last in-service training more than ten years ago. He explained that they did not have enough uniforms for everyone. He also complained about the old and scarce furniture, lack of computers or even a typewriter, despite the fact that the police station served 200,000 people. In February 2010, Judge Graham Ellis had inspected the police lock-up, had personally cleaned it and ordered the police officers responsible to maintain the cells properly. In reaction to this, the authorities of Enga Province had secured funds from the private sector for a thorough renovation of the police cells. The renovation work was being financed by Barrick Gold Corporation, co-owners of the Porgera Gold Mine. Individual cases A male detainee, aged 25, had been arrested three days before the visit. He was passing by a shop where an attempted burglary just had occurred and the guards from the shop apprehended him. They beat him and handed him over to the police, who beat him upon arrival at Wabag Police Station. The beating took place at the counter in the entrance. He was forced to lean on the wall and was punched to try to obtain a confession. There had been no further beatings. Alice Kuan has been held there for two days, for her own protection. She spent all day in a shed and slept in the building that was being refurbished. She was regularly beaten by her husband, and left him after he cut her with a bush knife. She went to live with her parents, but her husband also beat her father, so he went into hiding and she went to the police station. They had filed a criminal case against him and had a court hearing the following week. She indicated that her husband had substance abuse problems. She was treated well by the police and kept in the shed for her own protection. Mount Hagen Police Station, Mount Hagen Visited on 23 May 2010 General information The Special Rapporteur was received by John Maguna, Commander and Sergeant Canute Gutok, duty officer. There were 32 detainees and the lock-up comprised eleven cells, although not all of them were in use. The cells were located around an inner courtyard. The authorities were not able to open the cell to allow for private interviews, as there was only one set of keys held by the head of the police station, who was out of town. The inability to open the cell doors not only made the fact-finding by the Special Rapporteur very difficult, but it also raised serious concerns regarding safety of the detainees in case of emergencies, such as a fire. One cell was open because it had not been locked before the head of the station left for the weekend. The detainees were extremely agitated, screaming, complaining and insulting the guards. They were not allowed to leave the cells at all. The cells were very dirty and did not have 62
