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. 89 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.
