106 employees meets the highest requirements and can serve as an example not only in these regions but throughout the Republic of Kazakhstan. For instance, for several years now NPM team members of West Kazakhstan oblast indicate that Uralsk remand house using the building of the Department of Internal Affairs, where cells space does not correspond to the established by law norms, the concrete floor in the bath that does not match the sanitary norms and rules, is a potential spreading source of dangerous diseases and infections. There is no toilet in the courtyard. Having visited remand house in Almaty the NPM group once again came to the common opinion that institution’s closure would be the best possible solution in this situation. The institution does not comply with elementary international standards as well as standards of national legislation. These standards allow to organize and reorganize institutions of this type and continue their activities in the territory of CONSOLIDATED REPORT the Republic of Kazakhstan (for instance, the order of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 23 May 2011 No. 233 “On the Approval of Rules, Activity Organization of remand houses of Internal Affairs Bodies” clearly states that operation of RHs is allowed only if there are rooms meeting sanitary and hygienic standards and fire safety requirements for safe containment of persons without specific place of residence and/or identity documents. The NPM participants noted not only inattentive, but also heartless attitude towards detained persons. Detention of persons in this institution is degrading, inhumane, related to ill-treatment. Analysis of the reports submitted by NPM participants showed that up to date, not all staff members of RH are aware of NPM, mechanism and authority, there are still issues of lack of medical workers, movement of disabled people, lack of periodicals, books, radio, and phone calls.
