CONSOLIDATED REPORT
The fact that this was
a torture is indicated by
numerous
beatings
of
the convicts with rubber
batons in the same place buttocks, previously bared,
in order to increase pain,
as well as the attempts of
the administration, first, to
hide the consequences, in
particular, by not reflecting
the injuries of convicts in
the log, not drawing up
acts on the presence of
beatings and injuries, by
exerting moral pressure on
convicts, threatening them
that they would be sent to
other colonies, secondly,
by distorting the reality in
the case files of convicts,
thirdly, by separating injured
convicts from the other
convicts and unjustly placing
them in ward-type room of
the disciplinary cell. Thus,
Articles 130 and 131 of the
Correctional Code which do
not correspond to actual
offenses, were used as the
basis for such punishment.
In the acts, the actions of
the convicts are described
incorrectly
and
illegally,
since the phone was actually
stored and used by only one
37
convict. The rest did not even
hold it their hands. There are
no protocols on violations in
case files.
From conversations with
convicts subjected to the
use of special equipment,
the investigation team of the
Taraz police department tried
to settle disputes out of court,
although the cases where
there are signs of torture
and ill-treatment are not
subject to such settlement if
officials and law enforcement
officers are involved in them.
As the convicts testified, the
investigators used pressure
to convince the them, in
particular, they were made
to rewrite the finished text of
the petition, or were forced
to sign the written text of the
petition in advance with the
refusal of any claims against
the employees.
The responses received
from the prosecutor’s office
on this incident show that
the pre-trial investigation
authorities and prosecutors
ignored giving a legal
assessment to the materials
collected by us as the NPM
