5 manats monthly. The most important point is that the above mentioned issues have been voiced by not just one convict, but by majority of them, which lets us believe in the truthfulness of the provided information. 10. Based on the complaints received by the Commissioner from convicts or their relatives during 2008-2010, as well as the information collected about PI No.12 during the visits conducted by the NPM Group, it should be noted that the convicts are subjected to violence by the management and personnel of the establishment raises serious concerns. As well as at the interview held with the convicts during the last visit two convicts, who requested not to disclose their names as they were afraid that the chief of the institution would pose a threat to their lives, informed that they had been subjected to inhuman treatment by the management of the establishment. During the examination of the bodies of both convicts the traces of a rubber baton were observed and the members of the NPM Group drew up a corresponding report. Then the register of the application of special means to convicts was examined and it was found out that the name of none of those persons was among the names of the 7 convicts recorded in the register as the convicts in whose respect a special mean was applied during the year. Another convict during the interview stated that because he had appealed to a local office of an international organization in connection with a personal issue, he was beaten and his tooth was broken by Aftandil Aghayev, chief of the institution. It should be mentioned that in all cases the convicts alleged that they were beaten and subjected to torture by Aftandil Aghayev, chief of the institution, and the person called Karim, an employee of the operation unit, in this or another form. The Commissioner has requested the MJ to thoroughly investigate the cases mentioned in respect of PI No.12 and take necessary measures in respect of the guilty. 59
