During the examination of the special unit, where persons in whose respect compulsory medical treatment was ordered by the court were held, it was found out that the second floor of the building was not used as it was not suitable for use. It was revealed that the detention conditions were not satisfactory in the strict regime section of the unit, there was shortage of air, humidity, and strong unpleasant smell in some rooms because the windows were not opened, and the isolating rooms were unfit.

Thus, as a result of the visits, it has been determined that the detention of patients under the above mentioned conditions does not correspond to the requirements set forth by the national and international legal norms. Such conditions imply that they are subjected to inhuman treatment. As a result of the visit it has also become clear that there is not any special normative act to regulate the detention of persons subjected to compulsory medical treatment in hospital and the duration of placing and detaining those persons in isolating rooms, as well as their access to walking, taking bath, and other rights are therefore determined on the basis of the subjective decisions of doctors. For instance, persons held in the special unit are taken to walking only on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days of the week. With regard to the revealed facts, the Commissioner has requested the Ministry of Health to take necessary actions to improve conditions in the hospitals that have violated laws, ensure that persons held in those establishments are not degraded, and eliminate the detected violations in order to guarantee the rights of persons with mental illness to receive psychiatric assistance under such conditions that satisfy sanitary and hygiene requirements and ensure their detention under conditions meeting minimum standards. According to the information received from the ministry in response to the appeal, reconstruction and renovation works of large volume have been performed in Republic Psychiatric Hospital No.1, some units, as well as the other parts of the hospital have been completely renovated to meet modern standards. The nutrition unit of the hospital has been completely renovated, furnished with new modern equipment and put into operation.
