It was also determined that the roofs of the kitchen and food storehouse of
the soldier canteen of the military unit were unfit and leaky, on the whole,
those buildings needed capital repair, as well as provision of new equipment
and natural gas.
During the visits the general condition of the long visit room allocated for
convicts and the level of its provision with necessary equipment were assessed
as unsatisfactory.
During examination it became clear that because there was no
servicewoman among the permanent composition of the military unit
concerned, women who came to visit convicts were searched only by being
visually examined and questioned.
It should be particularly stressed that during the visits when relevant
documents were consulted with, it was determined that in 5 cases the persons
convicted in the same criminal case (by being 2 persons under each case, in
total 10 persons) were held together. We believe that it does not conform to
the duty to safeguard convicts’ right to personal security, as well as the
requirements of reformation objectives.
During the visits it was also determined that the military unit also held
trainings for newly recruited soldiers in swearing a military oath. We think
that assigning the disciplinary camp to take actions for the training of young
soldiers recruited for military units under the Military Police Office of the MD
for swearing a military oath may impede the intended purposeful activity of
the commanding personnel of the disciplinary camp, as well as the
implementation of educational work and actions aimed at reformation of
convicts, and maintenance of security and regime. In our opinion, it would be
more reasonable to assign the training of young soldiers for swearing a
military oath to another military unit.
During the visits it was also determined that it was necessary to provide
the “Ideology Room”, which was operating in the military unit to perform
educational and reformation work with convicts and raise their awareness,
with relevant legal and educational literature.
In respect of the above mentioned cases, the NPM Group submitted
relevant recommendations to the commander of the military unit on the spot,
as well as the Commissioner has addressed an appeal to the MD.
