36 including handcuffs, rubber batons, ... for:… suppressing riots and group violations of public order (group violations of the established regime of detention in the penitentiary system) ... as well as against persons who intentionally prevent employees from carrying out their legal obligations”. Since the convicted prisoners were in the corridor of the disciplinary cell and in the quarantine room the convicts were present one by one, and there was nothing to “deliberately impede” there, except for the unlawful requirements of the staff: to wash the floor with their bare hands in the toilet or to shout obscenities, there were no grounds to use special means in relation of the convicts. According to Paragraph 3 of Article 104 of the Correctional Code of the RoK “Convicted ... has no right: … to resist the lawful actions of the staff of the institutions”, this means that if the actions of the employees are illegal, then the convicts have the right to resist these actions. And such resistance, CONSOLIDATED REPORT especially with all kinds of humiliation of human dignity, should be recognized as legitimate. Of course, this is quite a fine line of relations between employees and convicts, which can be determined only by those who know the legislation well, constantly improve their knowledge, correctly imagine the goals and objectives of the penitentiary system. According to the testimony of other convicted respondents, those convicted who were subjected to torture did not take any actions that threaten the life or health of employees. These convicts are not leaders of the organized criminal group. Some of them suffer from serious illnesses, in particular, one of them has the 3rd stage of AIDS, one of them has hemorrhoids, one of them suffered a hypertensive crisis, and one has a ruptured eardrum. The victims were escorted to a place hidden from the eyes of the other convicts precisely for physical violence and intimidation, which resulted in torture.
