116
from among the remand
detainees.
An acute issue remains,
according to the NPM
members in the PTDC NSC
RK in the city of Almaty, the
organization of the walks
of detainees, instead of the
1-hour walk 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 detainee (the
2017 recommendation was
not implemented).
The NPM members in
Astana, Almaty and South
Kazakhstan Oblast note that
the PTDCs NSC RoK have
mailboxes for submitting
complaints to the prosecutor’s
office, NPM and other human
rights institutions, and, as a
rule, these boxes are located
in the corridors of the PTDCs.
An analysis of the NPM
members’ reports on the
situation in the PTDCs NSC
RoK shows that the leadership
of the National Security
Committee of the Republic
CONSOLIDATED REPORT
of Kazakhstan has done a
lot of work to implement the
recommendations of the RoK
NPM members and to bring
the conditions of the inmates
in accordance with the
international UN standards.
However, the following
recommendations set forth
in the Consolidated Reports
for 2016 and 2017 remained
unfulfilled:
1) Transfer the PTDC cells
from basements or semibasements 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;
2)
Taking
into
consideration the existence
of a problem with the
conditions of detention of
detainees and their sanitaryand-hygienic provision, to
find resources for major
reconstruction of the PTDC
NSC RoK, for bringing their
premises in proper sanitary
condition, actually providing
the necessary conditions
for keeping persons with
disabilities;
