arrived detainees to the PDF and detainees brought back to the PDF after leaving for investigative actions; ● placement of informational stands (posters) with information about the rights and rules in each cell in Kyrgyz and Russian languages (if possible, in other languages). ● strict compliance with norms of legislation on the separation of different categories of prisoners, taking into account their gender, age, criminal record, the legal reason for their detention and the treatment they receive. TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC Conclusions ■ the lack of response by judges to statements of detainees and defendants on the use of illegal methods of inquiry, allows employees of operational and investigative activities to use torture and other ill-treatment; ■ judicial red tape and delayed trials related to judicial review of dozens of criminal cases of torture, gives rise to questions as to the certainty of punishment for torture; ■ impunity of unlawful methods of investigation, including torture, is an important cause of torture; ■ actual inevitability of punishment and zero tolerance for torture, in addition to their simple official declaration, should be recognized in law enforcement practice. The effectiveness of the fight against torture can be judged in the number of criminal cases initiated in response to allegations of torture and the number of sentences imposed by the courts against those responsible for torture. Recommendations ● to take effective measures to eradicate judicial red tape and delaying of the trial of criminal cases on facts of torture and ill-treatment; ● to oblige the courts of first instance to immediately react to statements of suspects about the use of torture and other illegal methods of inquiry and investigation; ● to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic that ratified international treaties to which the Kyrgyz Republic is party, as well as with generally recognized principles and norms of international law that are an integral part of the legal system of the Kyrgyz Republic, and with the norms of international human rights treaties that have direct effect and priority over other norms of international treaties. Conclusions ■ the existing mechanism in Kyrgyzstan to investigate allegations of torture is ineffective, since it does not fully comply with the generally recognized principles of effective investigation; National Centre of the Kyrgyz Republic on the Prevention of Torture | 11
