CONSOLIDATED REPORT fully provided for) Having visited remand house in Almaty the NPM group once again came to the common opinion that institution’s closure would be the best possible solution in this situation. The institution does not comply with elementary international standards as well as standards of national legislation. These standards allow to organize and reorganize institutions of this type and continue their activities in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan (for instance, the order of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 23 May 2011 No. 233 “On the Approval of Rules, Activity Organization of remand houses of Internal Affairs Bodies” clearly states that operation of RHs is allowed only if there are rooms meeting sanitary and hygienic standards and fire safety requirements for safe containment of persons without specific place of residence and/or identity documents. The NPM participants noted not only inattentive, but also heartless 77 attitude towards detained persons. Detention of persons in this institution is degrading, inhumane, related to ill-treatment. Analysis of the reports submitted by NPM participants showed that up to date, not all staff members of RH are aware of NPM, mechanism and authority, there are still issues of lack of medical workers, movement of disabled people, lack of periodicals, books, radio, and phone calls. Also the degrading factor of human dignity not isolated toilets, lack of drinking water in cells, which is also noted in the NPM groups reports. The above mentioned conditions are contrary to international and national legislative treatment norms. NPM group reports also revealed that when recent visits were organized, none of the visited RHs could be marked as meeting requirements and standards, according to the current National and International legislation.
