On November 7-8, 2024, under the supervision of the Authorized Person for Human Rights (Ombudsman) and with the participation of members of Public Groups operating within the framework of the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) for the prevention of torture, monitoring visits were conducted in several penitentiary institutions in the Bukhara region. Media representatives were also involved in the process.

The first visit was made to Correctional Colony No. 1 in the Kagan district of the Bukhara region, which houses inmates serving sentences under a general regime. During the visit, the living, nutrition, medical care, and work conditions of the inmates, as well as the state of short-term and long-term visitation rooms, were examined. Recommendations were provided to address identified shortcomings.

As part of the monitoring, group and individual meetings were held with inmates, during which their appeals were collected.

The next facility to be monitored was Detention Center No. 4 in Bukhara city. Conditions for both accused and convicted persons, as well as the state of short-term visitation rooms, the medical unit, and living quarters, were reviewed. Additionally, the storage conditions of medicines and food, as well as compliance with sanitary and hygiene standards, were examined.

During the visit to Bukhara, monitoring was also conducted at the Special Detention Center for persons under administrative arrest, Correctional Colonies No. 17 and 20, the temporary detention center, and the narcological dispensary of the Bukhara region, where the conditions for those detained were studied.
