Pamfilova called for processing the Criminal Executive Code

The Criminal Executive Code must be systematically processed. This was stated by the Commissioner for Human Rights Ella Pamfilova at a meeting of the Federation Council, reports RAPSI. In her opinion, now the PEC is unbalanced, internally contradictory and unremarkable.

The current state of the Russian criminal -executive system is one of the most acute issues, the Ombudsman believes. “I believe that it was time to systematically process a number of articles of the Criminal Executive Code. Maybe you can start writing it again, in the new conditions,” said Pamfilova. “The current legislation in this area is so broken, unleashed, it is contradicting internally, it is completely indefinitely.”

“Unfortunately, the system is still very closed and closed, including for public control and for the state,” Pamfilova emphasized.

The expected humanization of the penal system after the transfer of bodies and the execution of sentences to maintaining the Ministry of Justice has not yet occurred, Pamfilova noted. Prosecutor’s supervision in places of imprisonment is extremely low, she believes. Medical support of suspects, accused and convicted, in fact, is divorced from the country's health system and is outside medical control by specialized departments, the Ombudsman emphasized.

Also, according to her, the procedures of parole and pardon raising many questions. Now the pardon process remains opaque and incomprehensible, she noted.

“Unfortunately, the problem of torture is still very acute. Outside the control sector, special transport is currently located for the transportation of convicts, a significant distance and significant time of the convicts will create ideal conditions for violating their rights,” said Pamfilova. Outside the sphere of public control, the premises of the police remain, premises for those investigated in the courts, branches of forensic psychiatric examination.

Pamfilova drew attention to the problem of unreasonable imprisonment under custody of the suspects of committing a crime. As a rule, the most stringent preventive measure is elected, and this is a big problem that requires a system solution, the Ombudsman noted.

The Commissioner recalled the problems related to the rights of children, including providing housing for orphans. "Unfortunately, there are still a number of effective mechanisms in the field of protecting the rights of family and childhood. First of all, this is a non -fulfillment of court decisions to provide housing for orphans, which they cannot get for a number of years," said Pamfilova.

On February 20, Pamfilova’s predecessor as an Commissioner for Human Rights Vladimir Lukin said that the situation with torture in the system of execution of sentences has worsened in Russia . “Unfortunately, we can say that we progressed in recent years here,” the Ombudsman noted. “I can’t say that we solved the problem of torture and inhuman attitude towards prisoners in the country.”

Lukin associated the spread of torture with economic and social problems, as well as with a certain life and customs in the country's prisons.

Lukin wished his successor to completely eradicate this problem.
