2.5. Establishments of the MD There are 11 places, in the jurisdiction of the MD, which detainees are not permitted to leave at will30 and 5 visits were conducted to these places in 2012. Necessary conditions were provided to realize the visits as required by law. Relevant actions have been taken to eliminate the deficiencies and shortcomings revealed during the visits. It should be primarily mentioned that it is highly appreciated that the OMP has promptly addressed the issues revealed as a result of the visit conducted to the Disciplinary Military Unit and reflected in the previous report of the NPM and taken relevant actions. As such, the OMP has inspected the state of the observance of the law and military charters when executing punishments in the given establishment and it has been discovered that the requirements of the EPC and Regulations of the Disciplinary Military Unit31 were seriously violated. It has been revealed that the new inmates brought to the military unit, instead of being placed in the quarantine section for 15 days, were settled in the disciplinary section from the first day, which minimized the efficiency of the preventive measures, and as a result 44% of those soldiers were subjected to a disciplinary punishment for the offences they committed during the quarantine period. Besides, it has been discovered that because a guardroom was not organized in the given establishment in breach of the law, a convicted soldier who had committed a serious disciplinary offence, in contradiction to Annex 4 on Guardrooms of the Regulations of the Garrisons and Guard Services of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan, was sent to a garrison guardroom to serve his punishment and detained for 10 days in a usual cell with other soldiers serving a disciplinary punishment. In order to eliminate the mentioned and other breaches of law revealed during the inspection, a recommendation has been sent by the OMP to the MD. During the visit conducted to the Guardroom of the Military Police of Ganja Garrison it was found out that the establishment lacked natural lighting, cells were not supplied with necessary devices, floors of the cells and service rooms were concrete, and extreme humidity was felt in the establishment. It was also discovered that the registration and placement of detainees were improperly performed in the establishment. The Commissioner has addressed an appeal to the MD with regard to the above mentioned and as a result, regarding that the given establishment did not meet modern standards, capital renovation of the guardroom has already started. 30 31 See: Appendix 1 Approved by Order No. 382 NQ of 28 October 2001 of the MD 29
