SECTION 2. The results of NMP operation in Ukraine 101 – the cell windows were too small to let in enough natural light and had no vents, which made fresh air intake impossible; – inmates could not regulate the volume of the radio installed in all cells. The process of convoying of a convicted military to the guardhouse may also amount to cruel treatment. It was found that the military convicts are transported to the guardhouse in compartments of regular passenger railcars; at night they are handcuffed to the table. When a convict is escorted to the toilet one of his hands is all the time cuffed to the hand of his convoy, and during the use of the toilet its door is never closed. In view of the low gravity of offenses punished by guardhouse detention such security measures during transportation are, in the Ombudsman’s opinion, not justified.
