and they reported the same to the personnel of the MIA who came to the TDP
a few days after the interview. Later, when the members of the NPM Group
conducted interviews with the detainees held in the Sumgayit CPO TDP (28
persons) and Nasimi DPO TDP (2 persons), they informed that they were
provided with food just once a day during their detention in the mentioned
TDPs. The chief of the Sumgayit CPO TDP and the acting chief of the Nasimi
DPO TDP confirming the fact that the detainees were provided with food once
a day, stated that it was in compliance with the normative acts in force and
signed the report drawn up in this regard.
The case was again raised with the MIA. In the received response it is
stated that disciplinary actions have been taken in respect of some personnel of

same officer on duty. The officer on duty in the TDP reported to the officer on
duty in the DPD that 5 persons were held in the facility and no breaches
occurred during the period he was on duty. Then the NPM Group members
started to examine the cells of the TDP, 2 cells were examined and their
photos were taken. It was revealed that the examined cells did not comply with
the standards in force, there were no sanitary facilities (toilet and water tap),
table and chairs in both cells, the upper parts of the beds were entirely made of
iron, and the walls of the cells were uneven. When the visiting team wanted to
examine the next cell, Aghali Khalilov, Chief of the Saatli DPD, entered the
