CONSOLIDATED REPORT
drill field (Almaty).
“In the open air yard of the
Taldykorgan detention facility
there is a meshed premise
resembling a cage, equipped
with a lock.
The accompanying person
explained that this was a
premise for violent detainees.
For physical activities of those
under arrest there is a special
premise equipped like a sports
hall with sports equipment
and fitness machines; the
premise is separate, located
across the drill field from the
detention facility yard. It was
not possible to clarify whether
this was really the case and
whether persons under arrest
had access to the sports hall
because detainees were not
there” (Taldykorgan).
Complaints procedures.
Based on the report from
visiting the detention facility
in Karaganda it appears that
each detainee is acquainted
with the rules of
detention and their rights.
However nothing is stated in
relation to the confirmation
of the above (log, journal,
decree etc.). Due to the
109
absence of detainees at the
detention facilities, the NPM
groups could not ascertain
whether the servicemen
were aware of their rights,
the complaints procedure,
the lost remuneration during
detention and non-inclusion
of detention time in the
overall conscription time.
Complaints are filed during
the daily cell rounds (Almaty,
Shymkent), during a personal
appointment with the head
(Almaty, Shymkent),
by way of a registration in
the Book of suggestions (in
Almaty there have been no
entries since 2016, Shymkent),
prosecutor’s complaints boxes
(Taldykorgan, Astana, Semey,
Shymkent; in Almaty the box
was located on a window sill),
hot lines (Almaty).
In case a petition is filed,
it is included in the detained
serviceman’s personal record
(Shymkent).
In Shymkent the Head of
the detention facility also
receives relatives of detained
servicemen and other persons
in his office according to
the schedule posted at the
