CONSOLIDATED REPORT
The WKO NPM members
interviewed B., a medical
officer,
for
a
medical
examination and permission
to place A.G. Gaponov in
disciplinary cell. The medical
officer informed me that,
due to existing diseases,
G. cannot be placed in the
disciplinary cell, and also said
that he had not conducted
a medical examination. He
did not know that G. was in
disciplinary cell.
The institution does not
have a log on the use of
special means, however, a
copy of the Act “On the use
of physical force and special
means” dated January 29,
2018 was provided to the
WKO NPM members by the
head of DC-4. However, it
was not clear whether the
prosecutor was subsequently
notified. Also, it is not
indicated for what period
the special means were
applied. At the same time, G.
is not aware of this Act. The
administration of DC-4 did
not submit any documents
regarding the issuance of the
relevant decision of officials
on the use of special means.

At the end of the interview,
G. wrote a petition addressed
to the Commissioner for
Human Rights in the Republic
of Kazakhstan.
The head of DC-4 was
warned by NPM members
in WKO about the need to
save video recordings for cell
No.73 for the period from
January 29, 2018 to January
31, 2018.
On the same day, as part of
the collection of information,
there was an interview
with B., who confirmed in
writing that on the night of
December 30-31, 2017, the
DC-4 officers handcuffed him
and kept him in the “swallow”
position for two hours as he
asked the surgical treatment
of his left hand, since he has
a broken radius.
The WKO NPM members
made photographs of B.’s
broken arm. During the
interview, the accussed B.
reported that he experienced
severe physical pain during
the use of special means
without any reason. At the
time of the visit, the arm was
broken, but he did not receive
medical any assistance.
