SECTION 2. proceedings launched by the Ombudsman it was found that the rights of conscript Pavlo A. were violated. After being beaten in his military unit he was placed into a medical unit on the basis of a provision in the said Instructions and later diagnosed with schizophrenia and pronounced unfit for military service. On demobilization this diagnosis was not confirmed by a special commission, yet the very fact of this diagnosis creates real problems for the young man in his civilian life and limits his rights in the sphere of employment and elsewhere. This issue requires a legislative solution. The requirement of Article 10 of the Convention against Torture as to mandatory inclusion of materials on prevention of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment into professional training programs for personnel engaged in the guarding of prisoners is not complied with as so far such programs are not available. Implementation of the Ombudsman’s recommendations given to MoD in 2013 After each monitoring visit relevant reports and recommendations on improvements in respect of rights and freedoms of the detained or convicted military personnel were communicated to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and to the Policing Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.According to the officially received information PSAFU has implemented nearly 50 % of post-visit recommendations (e.g., in the disciplinary battalion – on providing written information to prisoners about their rights and freedoms, on free use of wristwatches, on regular inspections by medical staff of the amount and quality of food and water, of the cooking procedures, of the sanitary state of the institutions 115 and of the suitability and cleanliness of prisoners’ clothing and bedding, on installing doors in toilet cubicles). In order to maintain an effective dialogue with defense agency the staff of the NPM Department established two-way working relationships with the relevant subdivisions and officials of PSAFU. The matters of interaction and status of implementation of the 2013 recommendations were discussed at two joint meetings. In the first quarter of 2013, in order to improve the treatment of the detained and convicted prisoners, the PSAFU leadership organized an inspection of all MoD custodial settings (except military units), performed by a special commission. As a result the agency discontinued operation of 3 guardhouse and 16 RTDPs and planned for their renovation and reequipment. After completion of such works in the end of 2013 operation of all RTDPs and 1 guardhouse was resumed. PSAFU also began works to equip a cell for three at its guardhouse in Kyiv in accordance with minimum standards of detention.
