At the end of the interview,
B. wrote a petition addressed
to the Commissioner for
Human Rights in the Republic
of Kazakhstan regarding his
ill-treatment.
NPM
members
recommended conducting a
quick, independent, impartial,
effective investigation of
the petitions of G. and B.
and ensure the protection
of victims of torture in order
to prevent pressure from the
DC-4 staff.
A special visit to the RSE
Establishment UK 161/1
of the Department of the
penitentiary
system
in
Kostanay oblast on February
9, 2018 was made on the
basis of the petition from
the relative of L. who was
kept in cell No.23 from the
beginning of January 2018,
before that petition, in the
cell where he stayed there
was a persistent smell of
damp; there were leaks and
mold on the walls. It was
cold in the cell; he constantly
felt chills. He feared for his
health in connection with
the diagnosis of inguinal
lymphadenitis on the right
side.
CONSOLIDATED REPORT
before the arrival of NPM
all complaints were filed by
relatives to the head of the
establishment UK 161/1,
but there was no action
from the administration.
Further complaints were
sent to the Department of
the penitentiary system in
Kostanay, consequently a
senior inspector, sanitary
doctor X. was appointed and
sent there. In addition, when
the complaint from Mrs. S.
was received, a commission
from the NPM members was
created.
The conclusions of the NPM
members are as follows: The
systematic failure to comply
with the recommendations
led to the fact that today in
the institution, due to the
poor quality of the ventilation
system, thermal insulation
creates condensation in
the cells. As a result of this,
moisture is collected on the
walls, a fungus is formed,
which leads to discomfort and
deterioration of the health of
those staying in the cells. Due
to such conditions, detained
in pre-trial detention center
are forced to stay in warm
(outdoor) clothes. There
