CONSOLIDATED REPORT
the walking yard, i.e. create a
barrier-free environment for
persons with disabilities from
among the remand detainees.
In accordance with the
observations of the NPM
members in the PTDC NSC
RK in the city of Almaty,
instead of the 1-hour walk,
according to complaints of
the remand detainees, they
take a walk only for 25-30
minutes. The administration
of PTDC explains this by the
fact that the building of the
institution is old and there
are not enough walking yards
to organize an hour’s walk for
the remand detainees.
The NPM members in
Astana
and
Karaganda
Region note that remand
detainees complained that
the staff of the territorial
prosecutor’s offices visited
the PTDC NSC RK very
rarely, and even less often
did they conduct a personal
reception of the inmates.
Thus in the PTDC of Astana
city “according to a remand
detainee R.S. Akhanov (the
surname and initials were
written with the permission
87
of that person), for more than
two and a half months there
were no facts of inspections
and / or supervision by
prosecutors in the PTDC
NSC RK, - the detainee did
not see any prosecutors.”
Therefore, the leadership
of the General Prosecutor’s
Office of the RK should
take into consideration this
circumstance and the officers
of the prosecutor’s office
should conduct a reception
of remand detainees in the
shortest possible time.
An analysis of the NPM
members’ reports on the
situation in the PTDC NSC
RK shows that the following
recommendations set forth
in the Consolidated Reports
for 2015 and 2016 years
remained unfulfilled:
1. Transfer the PTDC
cells
from
basements
or
semi-basements
to
standardized buildings that
would comply with the UN
Standard Minimum Rules for
the Treatment of Prisoners
(“Nelson Mandela Rules”) and
the national legislation of the
Republic of Kazakhstan;
