A/HRC/16/52/Add.3 diarrhoea. There were many fights among the detainees. The big cell was for those who were sick, and those who had already been charged were held in the other cells. 91. Alfonso Wint, aged 59 had been detained at May Pen for two days, after a conflict with his neighbours. He suffered from asthma, which became worse as a result of sleeping on the floor in his cell. Other detainees beat him while the officers watched. He had been beaten once on his leg and face with the registry book by officers at Four Parks Police Station. He had asked to see a doctor but was not taken. His knee was still swollen and he could not stretch it. During a previous detention, warders had broken his right hand and since he had not received proper medical care he could no longer use it properly. He was in very poor physical condition. He had not been allowed to inform his family that he was in detention. He said that that both detainees and officers were trying to kill him slowly. 92. Oneil Woolough, aged 39, had been arrested on Sunday morning before the visit. He cried heavily while talking to the Special Rapporteur. He was beaten by Officer Joe Marshall on the abdomen and the left ear with a baton. Since he had a stomach problem and because of the very poor quality of the food, he had severe diarrhoea but no access to the bathrooms except in the morning and in the evening. The other detainees in his cell did not accept him and threatened to kill him if he could not wait to go to the toilets. He was taken to the doctor who told him not to eat rice and to have a strict diet. However, he was given rice and improper food. Officers had thrown very hot water at him, which had caused a first degree burn on his chest down to the hip bone. His cheek was swollen because he had been hit by an officer with a baton. Due to an uncoordinated system of distribution of medicines between the hospital, the pharmacies and the police stations, detainees had to wait for more than two days to receive their treatment. 93. Robert Ishainl Sr., aged 41, was arrested on 3 December 2009 by the police in the streets and was taken to Lionel Town Police Station. On 20 January he was transferred to May Pen and went to Court for the first time the day before the visit of the Special Rapporteur. He was never beaten, but was called a “mad man” by the officers. He was a reggae musician. He complained about the impossibility to go to the toilets more than twice a day. 94. Robert Powle was arrested a week before the visit of the Special Rapporteur after a police search in the area where he had a fruit shop. They found marijuana and he was pushed harshly into the police car. He had a lawyer and waited to get out on bail. He had a bandage on his forehead because he had fallen against the wall in the bathroom and was subsequently taken to the hospital. He thought that detainees were not treated like human beings and complained about the lack of access to the toilet. 95. S.R., aged 24, had been arrested on 25 December 2009. He was immediately taken to May Pen Police Station and had remained in the same cell. On the day he was detained a police officer hit him on the face with the end of a gun. The police threatened to kill him. They stomped with their shoes on his chest while he was lying on the floor. He had not put up any resistance during the arrest, so there was no reason for the beating. One month later the judge ordered that he should be taken to hospital for an examination. In early to midJanuary, the police conducted a search of the cells for marijuana and mobile phones. They found something in his cell and started beating the detainees. Five officers beat the detainees in the corridor and then in their cells. He was beaten on his arms, shoulders, hands and legs. His arm and leg were both broken due to the beatings and several of his toes were dislocated. He feared that his right middle finger may have also been broken. He was taken to hospital for treatment after the beatings. The detainees could only go to toilet when the officers allowed it, and their decision was arbitrary. Some officers would tell them to use a bag or a plate or to defecate on their hands and then eat the faeces. The frequency of showers also depended on the officers’ mood. They had experienced a water shortage for two to three weeks. Some of the detainees got sick from the water. On 39
