CAT/C/PRY/CO/4-6 (b) Ensure that there are sufficient medical professionals, including mental health professionals, to provide proper medical care for persons deprived of their liberty; (c) Provide suitable accommodation and psychiatric treatment for those persons deprived of their liberty who require psychiatric supervision and treatment; (d) Redouble efforts to combat discrimination against vulnerable groups, and in particular against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community; (e) Use solitary confinement as a last resort, for as short a time as possible, under strict supervision and with the possibility of judicial control. Statements obtained under duress 20. The Committee expresses its concern at reports that, in spite of the provisions of article 90 of the Code of Criminal Procedure prohibiting the use of force by the police to obtain a statement from a detained person, in practice the police continue to obtain statements by torture or ill-treatment. The Committee is concerned that the courts of the State party occasionally use such statements as evidence. The Committee is also concerned by the lack of information relating to officials who have been tried and punished for having obtained statements in this way (arts. 2, 4, 10 and 15). The State party should take the necessary steps to ensure that all statements obtained as a result of torture are inadmissible in any court proceedings, in conformity with article 15 of the Convention. The Committee requests the State party to ensure in practice the inadmissibility of evidence obtained as a result of torture and to provide it with information on whether any officials have been tried and punished for having obtained statements in this way, together with examples of cases that have been set aside because a statement had been obtained as a result of torture. The State party should also ensure the provision of training for law enforcement officials, judges and lawyers on the methods used to detect and investigate cases in which statements have been obtained by torture. Violence against women 21. The Committee takes note of the different measures adopted by the State party to combat violence against women, which include providing five police stations with the resources to register complaints of domestic violence. It also takes note of the implementation in seven public hospitals of the National Programme for Prevention and Comprehensive Care for Victims of Gender Violence and of the introduction of custodial penalties to punish acts of domestic violence. However, the Committee is concerned by the lack of a specific law to prevent, punish and eradicate violence against women, particularly sexual abuse, domestic violence and violent killings of women, in spite of the high incidence of such violence in the State party (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16). The State party should intensify its efforts to ensure the implementation of urgent and effective protective measures to prevent and combat all forms of violence against women and girls, particularly sexual abuse, domestic violence and violent killings of women. Such measures should include, in particular, the rapid adoption of a law to prevent, punish and eradicate violence against women that is in conformity with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and with general recommendation No. 19 of 1994 on violence against women of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. The State party should also undertake broad awareness-raising campaigns and provide training courses on the prevention of violence against women and girls for officials who are in 8 GE.11-47781
