CONSOLIDATED REPORT
Amendments to the Law
on the military detention
centers took place in 2017. It
has been 1.5 years, but some
NPM reports still contain
references to legislation that
is no longer in force.
Only the NPM group in
Aktobe noted, “in the Rules
for Serving Administrative
Arrest, the form, methods
and time of restriction of
visits are not defined, as are
the methods of telephone
communication, the order
of their provision and
restrictions”. In the absence
of such an assessment in
the reports, it cannot be
excluded that this right is
either not exercised at all by
the persons detained in the
military detention centers, or
is significantly restricted, or
“anarchy rules”, since there is
lack of the procedure for visits
established by a legal act
(since there is no regulation:
what should be provided and
undertaken).
Three
NPM
teams
conducted visits in Aktobe
on February 2 (regular visit),
in Astana on July 14 (regular
visit) and in Shymkent
on September 7, 2018
(intermediate visit) to the
119
military detention rooms
of the military police of the
Ministry of Defense of the
Republic of Kazakhstan. NPM
groups on average spend
from two to three hours for
a visit.
At the time of the visit to
the military detention centers
in Aktobe, Astana, military
personnel were not detained,
in Shymkent there was 1
administratively
arrested
man (serving under contract).
For 6 months of 2018, 58
persons were detained in
the military detention center
of the capital, an average of
about 10 people per month
(the number of prisoners is
unknown from the Aktobe
report). For 8 months of 2018
14 military staff were detained
in the military detention
center in Shymkent.
The recommendations of
the NPM groups are partly
repeating in comparison
with 2017. In order to avoid
duplication, we emphasize the
importance of ensuring such
conditions, and they should
be inversely proportional to
the following remarks.
As per the report of the
NPM team in Aktobe there is
