Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr.S.Ilhamgizi / "I cannot believe that additional funds will be allocated for the installation of a ventilation system in Bayil investigation cell 1," Elmira Suleymanova, the Azerbaijani ombudswoman, said.
Tomas Hammerberg, the Commissioner of the Council of Europe on Human Rights, visited a wide range of prisons in Azerbaijan. Hammerberg expressed that the absence of ventilation systems in cells poses danger. All the necessary measures should be taken for elimination of the current conditions in prisons.
"It is planned to pull down the building and to construct new ones which will meet international standards," Suleymanova said.
According to Mehman Sadigov, the Chief of the Public Relations Department of the Central Department of the Penal Service, the present building became out of date and therefore, it is impossible to renew the ventilation system.
