An excerpt from a letter
from a prisoner
at the prison colony UYA (УЯ) 64/1
|
Association for Human Rights in Central Asia has received a letter signed by prisoner detained in colony 64/1 in Chirchiq. It
states: in this prison colony, there are only 20 toilets for thousands of
prisoners (note from our organisation:
about 4 thousand people). The prisoners have to stand in line for up to
four hours to get to the toilet. Many people suffer from diseases of the
genitourinary system, including urinary incontinence. The elderly and very
young alike are embarrassed by the natural need and the smell of urine. The
deputy head of the colony 64/1, Tulkin Tukhtasinov, not only simply ignores the
treatment of prisoners, he also uses the lack of toilets in the "disciplinary
purposes". He is especially mistreats political and religious. Prisoners. This
is a very evil and cruel man.
The name of the author of the letter is known to us, it is withheld on
his request.
