Regarding a statement by the Citizens' Ecological Movement in relation to the detention conditions of the Kurdish Mr. Kenan Ayas, the management of the Prisons Department wishes to clarify the following.
At no time has Mr. Ayas been placed in a solitary confinement cell but has been confined to his own cell where he was previously.
The prisoner is given ample time in pre-trial detention, there is continuous and increased nursing and medical supervision although he refuses to cooperate with the medical team of the Prison Department.
His legal adviser has the right to visit whenever he wishes or Mr. Ayas requests it.
The observations of the Commissioner for Administration and Human Rights have been taken into serious consideration.
All actions of the Prisons Department are taken with full respect for the human rights of the prisoner, proportionality, leniency and compliance with the Prisons Act and, by extension, the equal treatment of all prisoners.
