behaviour. Some of the children have been at the
clinic for four or more years. Corporal punishment
is regularly used. The nurses punish the children
by tying them to radiators or chairs for many
hours. Sometimes the children are forced to sit
down on the floor with their hands bound behind
their back, their feet tied together, and with their
heads tucked between their knees. Another form
of punishment is forcing the children to stand still
for long periods with their hands tied behind their
backs with short breaks during meals. As a result
of ill-treatment, half of the children have bruises
and marks from being bound. The drug
“aminazin”, which has strong side-effects, is
regularly used as means of punishment. Some
children suffer from tuberculosis and receive no
medication, and are not separated from the
others. One 12-year-old girl had a groin hernia
and suffered from severe pain, and did not receive
any treatment. There is no running water in the
facility. The children drink the water from the same
container in which they wash. All the children
sleep in one overcrowded room. They have no
access to education or any means of
communication with the outside world. Threats of
being sent to Ivanovka hospital are apparently
being used to intimidate children in other
orphanages in Chuy region.
