the Kyrgyz Republic. At the
end of the year, more than
half of the convicted citizens
of the Kyrgyz Republic
from
this
establishment
were transferred to their
homeland or there was a
positive decision in their
respect and they are waiting
for prison transfer. During
the visit, it was revealed that
convicted citizens of a foreign
state, due to the prevailing
circumstances, cannot be
given paid work, cannot open
a current account, thus, they
cannot shop in a special store
for convicts, cannot receive
specialized medical treat
ment, cannot independently
purchase payphone cards
(KazakTelecom)
to
talk
to their relatives. These
difficulties and issues are
associated with the lack of an
IIN (Individual Identification
Number), which is issued to
citizens of the Republic of
Kazakhstan and foreigners
with a residence permit in
the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In addition, the relatives of
convicts are not able to send
money from another state to
the operating account of the
establishment, sick persons

with specific diseases also
do not have the opportunity
to
receive
appropriate
treatment. One of the
convicts Zh.U. lives with a
pacemaker that has expired
more than one year ago. He
needs an urgent replacement
of the apparatus, otherwise
he can die. Two convicts
E.A. and R.B. suffer from
diabetes and need insulin.
In our opinion, such issues
are largely due to gaps in
the national legislation in the
provision of medical services,
due to the departmental
subordination of the medical
part of the institution of
the administration of the
institution of the Committee
of the penitentiary system
of MIA RoK. According to
the NPM, there is an urgent
need to transfer the liability
of the medical department of
the establishment under the
responsibility of the Ministry
of Health of the Republic of
Kazakhstan. Indicative is the
case of convicted B., who
suffered for 6 months until his
relatives collected money in
the amount of 83,000 and he
had an operation in the city
hospital of Taraz. Particularly
