On 5 March 2019, representatives of the Seimas Ombudsmen’s Office attended the meeting with representatives of the Association for the Prevention of Torture (APT) to discuss the peculiarities of the care of persons suffering from tuberculosis in prison and mental health institutions. The APT representatives emphasised that the care of persons suffering from tuberculosis should not differ from that of other inmates of those institutions, and that automatic isolation of the convicted or persons suffering from mental and behavioural disorders is not acceptable and does not comply with the principles of protection against torture laid down in the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
