employees meets the highest
requirements and can serve
as an example not only in
these regions but throughout
the Republic of Kazakhstan.
For instance, for several
years now NPM team
members of West Kazakhstan
oblast indicate that Uralsk
remand house using the
building of the Department
of Internal Affairs, where cells
space does not correspond to
the established by law norms,
the concrete floor in the bath
that does not match the
sanitary norms and rules, is
a potential spreading source
of dangerous diseases and
infections. There is no toilet
in the courtyard.
Having visited remand
house in Almaty the NPM
group once again came to
the common opinion that
institution’s closure would be
the best possible solution in
this situation. The institution
does not comply with
elementary
international
standards as well as standards
of national legislation. These
standards allow to organize
and reorganize institutions of
this type and continue their
activities in the territory of
CONSOLIDATED REPORT
the Republic of Kazakhstan
(for instance, the order of the
Minister of Internal Affairs of
the Republic of Kazakhstan
dated 23 May 2011 No. 233
“On the Approval of Rules,
Activity
Organization
of
remand houses of Internal
Affairs Bodies” clearly states
that operation of RHs is
allowed only if there are
rooms meeting sanitary
and hygienic standards and
fire
safety
requirements
for safe containment of
persons without specific
place of residence and/or
identity documents. The
NPM participants noted not
only inattentive, but also
heartless attitude towards
detained persons. Detention
of persons in this institution
is degrading, inhumane,
related to ill-treatment.
Analysis of the reports
submitted
by
NPM
participants showed that up
to date, not all staff members
of RH are aware of NPM,
mechanism and authority,
there are still issues of lack of
medical workers, movement
of disabled people, lack of
periodicals, books, radio, and
phone calls.
