CAT/C/MNE/CO/2 Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol) should be included in the training material; (b) Assess and evaluate, as far as practicable, the effectiveness of educational and training programmes relating to the Convention and the Istanbul Protocol. Conditions of detention 17. While noting the State party’s commitment to improving conditions of detention, through a European Union project, the Committee remains concerned at the conditions in detention facilities, especially the remand prison in Podgorica, such as the overcrowding, the inadequate access to health care and the lack of meaningful activities and rehabilitation programmes. The Committee regrets the lack of information on inter-prisoner violence and sexual violence in prisons. (arts. 11 and 16) The State party should strengthen its efforts to improve prison conditions in conformity with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Economic and Social Council resolutions 663 C (XXIV) and 2076 (LXII)), by reducing the high rate of overcrowding, in particular through the wider use of alternatives to imprisonment, in the light of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for Non-custodial Measures (Tokyo Rules), by providing access to full health care services for prisoners. The State party should implement effectively alternative sanctions and rehabilitation programmes. The Committee also recommends that the State party take appropriate measures to prevent sexual violence in prisons, including inter-prisoner violence. Attacks against journalists 18. The Committee is concerned at a number of cases of intimidation of or violence against journalists, killings of journalists and attacks against media property, and at the lack of investigation of such cases. In addition to the cases of Olivera Lakić and Mladen Stojović, the Committee takes note of concerns raised by the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression at the end of his visit to Montenegro in 2013 in relation to unresolved cases of attacks on and killings of journalists, including the murder of Duško Jovanović in 2004. (arts. 2 and 12) The State party should inform the Committee of the outcomes of the work carried out by the commission established in December 2013 to investigate cases of threats and violations against journalists, murders of journalists and attacks on media property. Violence against women 19. While noting the State party’s efforts to combat gender-based violence, including the adoption of the Law on Domestic Violence Protection in 2010, and of the Strategy for Combating Domestic Violence for the period 2011–2015, the Committee expresses its concern at (art. 16): (a) The reported lack of implementation of existing legislation and policy; (b) The prevalence of violence against women and, in particular, of domestic violence, as well as the low rate of reporting on such violence; (c) The lack of effective investigation of reports of violence and the lack of prosecutions, the mild sentences given to perpetrators and the inadequate protection of victims, with protection orders being used in only a limited manner. Recalling the recommendations made in 2011 by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW/C/MNE/CO/1, para. 19), the State party 6
