At the debriefing with Major Nason Abba, he complained that the buildings dated back to colonial times. He also recognized that there were some beatings sometimes at the gate and informed the Special Rapporteur that the doctor at the prison was leaving and there was no replacement for him yet. Female Section There were 17 women and one baby. The detainees were given classes on literacy, HIV, etc., and they were allowed to play basketball, volleyball and soccer on Fridays from 8.30 to 11 a.m. Some of the classes were held together with male detainees, but otherwise the women were strictly separated from the men. From 4 p.m. to 6 a.m., female detainees were locked in the house without any officer being present. The house consists of two large dormitories, which were clean and well-kept, and each detainee had a wooden bed and blankets. There were toilets, showers and a kitchen, where the detainees made doughnuts which they could sell to the surrounding community in order to generate income. There was also a “fellowship programme” run by a Christian NGO aimed at generating money for purposes such as buying medicine. Individual cases J.T., aged 35. On 2 May 2007 she reported to the police station in Goroka and stayed in a cell for five weeks. She was told there was no paper to do the report and was only charged three weeks after she arrived. She was taken to court two weeks after that. She complained that the toilet was blocked. She also complained that although the women were separated from the men, police officers would go into the female cell at night, often while the women were sleeping, harass them and ask for sex. Women who were accused of soft crimes such as shoplifting were offered sex in exchange for their release. For more serious cases, the police also asked but the women knew that they would not be released and refused. She added that detainees were generally verbally abused and called “criminals”. The officers also demand food from the detainees, which they were forced to share. A young woman had recently escaped and as a result, all the detainees were locked up for one week and not allowed to get some sun. When she was recaptured, the guards beat her using iron rods, wire and fists, kicked her, forced her to jump back over the fence and into the compound and then allowed the other detainees to beat her. The officers also forced them to make bilums for them. A female detainee, aged 32, was arrested on 4 July 2008. She went to her uncle’s house, since he works for the CID, to surrender for a crime. She confessed everything at the Goroka Police Station, and was put in a cell for two weeks without being able to shower and with almost no water. She was very cold during the night and had no blankets. After two weeks she was starving. She was taken before a judge who ordered that she be detained at Bihute. She noted that the officers did not always follow the rules, and forced her to do gardening and other types of work. She was afraid of them since they screamed a lot. She had seen the director of the prison only for the second time in two years during the visit of the Special Rapporteur. She noted that the food was repetitive but that they could sometimes add fruit. The fact that the toilets could not be flushed bothered her. She had been sick with typhoid some time before and had been given medication for two weeks. She stated that it took a long time to prepare a car to taken them to the hospital, but that it was due to a lack of means and not because of bad will. She noted that they were forced to wear their uniforms in the hospital, and were therefore mocked. A mother and her daughter, aged 59 and 17, were arrested together with the father and two brothers for an offence the older brother had committed. On 7 February 2009, police 47
