SECTION 2.
The results of NMP operation in Ukraine
101
–
the cell windows were too small to let in enough natural light and had no
vents, which made fresh air intake impossible;
–
inmates could not regulate the volume of the radio installed in all cells.
The process of convoying of a convicted military to the guardhouse may also
amount to cruel treatment. It was found
that the military convicts are transported to the guardhouse in compartments
of regular passenger railcars; at night
they are handcuffed to the table. When
a convict is escorted to the toilet one of
his hands is all the time cuffed to the
hand of his convoy, and during the use
of the toilet its door is never closed.
In view of the low gravity of offenses
punished by guardhouse detention
such security measures during transportation are, in the Ombudsman’s
opinion, not justified.
