facility and rudely ordered the personnel of the TDP to lock the door of the cell he had opened. Aghali Khalilov said to the visiting team that they had to make a relevant record in the register on entering the Department and as they had not done it, they had to leave the TDP. The staff members of the Office stated that they were allowed in because they presented their badges when they entered the administrative building and only at the end of the visit they would make corresponding notes in the examination register of the TDP. At the same time Aghali Khalilov was informed of the requirements of the national legislation and relevant provisions of the OPCAT. Nevertheless, Chief of the Department Aghali Khalilov insistently required them to leave the TDP and did not allow them to perform their official duties. This happened in front of the TDP personnel and detainees. We think that such an act, along with being a gross violation of the OPCAT and national legislation, casts a shadow on the mutual and close cooperation established between the Commissioner institution and the MIA for a long time. The Commissioner has requested the MIA to remedy the relevant breaches and organize the study of the requirements of the Constitutional Law and the OPCAT by police bodies. In the received response it is stated that the management of the MIA has requested the relevant police bodies to ensure that their personnel gain knowledge of the OPCAT, as well as Aghali Khalilov has received a severe warning. As a result of the visits undertaken to the relevant establishments of the MIA it has also been revealed that though appropriate conditions have been created for the persons detained in TDPs, the working conditions of the personnel serving in those establishments can not bee deemed satisfactory. As such, though the floors of cells are wooden, the floors of the rooms intended for the use of personnel and the corridors where they serve are concrete, which negatively affects their health. 3.1.2.
