CoE report: Inter-prisoner violence, informal prisoner hierarchy, luxurious conditions for some inmates in Armenia
The Council of Europe’s Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) issued on Wednesday a new report on Armenian places of detention, summing up data based on its periodic visit to the country in December 2019.
The report published on the official website of the organization, welcomed some positive developments in the penitentiary system, however, it noted with grave concern that some of its long-standing recommendations concerning the legal safeguards for persons in police custody, the material conditions, regime and health care in prisons, as well as staffing levels and legal safeguards in psychiatric establishments, remain to be implemented.
