Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend , corr K. Zarbaliyeva / Elchin Behbudov, the Chairman of the Anti-Torture Committee of Azerbaijan, held a monitoring in the Women Imprisonment Place 4. He informed that 254 women serve their imprisonment term in the prison. Though living conditions, the food, supply with medicaments were estimated as satisfactory, the old building for the prisoners is a real source of troubles. Behbudov noted that that in the near future the prison will be improved to meet European standards.
The imprisoned women did not have complaints with the living conditions and rebuffed the facts of tortures. The only discontent was the unfair sentences by Court.
The most part of the women is imprisoned for calculated homicide, fraud or drug trafficking.
