During the visits undertaken in 2009 private, personal talks were
conducted with up to 700 detainees in temporary detention places and up to
200 detainees in penitentiary institutions. Also 127 staff members were
interviewed in private during visits. In 2010 private talks were conducted with
1241 persons in total, out of which 670 persons were interviewed in the
establishments under the MIA, 430 in the establishments under the PS, 14 in
the InIs of the MNS, 12 in the establishments under the MD, 40 in the
establishments under the ME, 35 in the establishments under the MH, and 40
in the establishments under the MLSPP. In 2010 personal talks were
conducted with 252 staff members as well.
It should be mentioned that during visits detainees mostly complained of
the biasness of investigations, groundless arrests, various pressures exerted
during investigations, and unjust court decisions rather than detention
conditions or treatment.
Relevant proposals and recommendations have been submitted to the
managements of the establishments concerned, as well as to the corresponding
ministries for the elimination of the deficiencies and shortcomings revealed
during visits, as well as the improvement of detention conditions, and
appropriate measures have been taken by the ministries with regard to each
recommendation and relevant information has been provided in this respect.
Along with the other problems revealed during the visits to places of
detention, it has been determined that the daily food ration provided for
detainees, which is uniform for all establishments, and the amount of the funds
allocated for that purpose partially meet the real demand. This has necessitated
conducting an appropriate analyses and ensuring the unification of food
provisioning for all homogenous establishments. For that purpose, the
Commissioner has requested the ministries, which have under their authority
such places that detainees are not permitted to leave at will, to give
information on the size of the daily food ration and amount of the funds
allocated for that.
