A/HRC/16/52/Add.5 a police officer arrived at her home. The husband pulled her, kicked her, bit her right arm and put her in the police vehicle. They took her to Mount Hagen Police Station and her husband left. The police officer kicked her in the back, slapped her and pushed her into a toilet and then into the cell. He told her to take off her clothes so he could look at her and that he would come back at midnight. He came back and said he would set her bail at 100k. In the middle of the night, he unlocked the cell door and raped her. The next morning, she was taken to court. The following morning, she told her uncle what had happened and he wanted to take her out to hospital but she was afraid. Later in the day she was transferred to prison. The court found her guilty and sentenced her to one month imprisonment and a fine of 500k. She has not seen a doctor and was in pain. A female detainee, aged 34, was arrested at home in Mount Hagen on 10 September 2009 because she could not repay debts. She spent six months at Mount Hagen Police Station. She was not beaten but she witnessed other detainees being slapped. She complained about the lack of water and the privileges men had, including for example being able to leave for three days to attend a funeral, while the women were only allowed to leave for one day. J.N. had to go to the hospital for an operation, but was not taken because there was no vehicle available. There were classification meetings every three months, but the female guards did not take up the female detainees’ cases. Male detainees were allowed weekend leave and other privileges, while the women’s leave had stopped. She had recently made an application for leave but the guard threw it away. She added that the staff expected bribes in order to grant them weekend leave. She complained about the lack of privacy, including during their medical examinations. Male guards would open the women’s section of the prison in the mornings. Josephine Tomo, aged 25, had been arrested six years prior. She reported that no violence had been used against her. She did not recall being interrogated by the police, but only being taken directly to court and charged with murder. Ms. Tomo spent one month and three weeks at Lae Police Station, and was sentenced by the court to twelve years’ imprisonment. In March 2009 she requested to be transferred to Baisu Correctional Facility in order to be closer to her young child who had been with her sister’s family in Lae, but was illegally taken by her husband to Mount Hagen. However, on the day of the interview, Ms. Tomo was not aware of the whereabouts of her child, which caused her deep sorrow. Ms. Tomo’s request for weekend leave to look for her child had not been granted. Ms. Tomo considered Baisu Prison to be better than the one in Lae, mainly due to the good relationship among female detainees and the possibility to be visited by family members. At the same time, she regretted that personal problems were not taken up by the wardens, and complained about the lack of food, which she reportedly had raised already earlier with the local church and representatives of the Ombudsman’s office. Ms. Tomo further reported that no schooling or vocational training was provided to female detainees. Wardens sometimes urge detainees to produce bilums, which were later sold at the market, with no revenue given to the detainees. Detention cells Pikua Smith, aged 25.
