45 pages / 568 KB

This joint submission by the OMCT, the IPHR, the Coalition against Torture and Impunity in Tajikistan, and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights presents information about the implementation of Tajikistan’s obligations under articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention against Torture). It provides information about the legislative framework pertaining to torture and other forms of ill-treatment and its implementation. It highlights civil society concerns about torture and other ill-treatment in detention (including in police stations and temporary detention facilities, corrective labour facilities and prisons) as well as in other closed or semi-closed facilities and the armed forces. The document pays special attention to vulnerable groups, such as women, children, LGBT people, refugees and asylum seekers and highlights concerns pertaining to investigations into allegations of torture and other ill-treatment, prosecutions of perpetrators, and victims’ access to reparation. The document also includes a chapter about the shrinking space for civil society organizations and activists in Tajikistan including those working against torture and impunity.

This Joint NGO submission to the Committee against Torture (CAT) ahead of the consideration of Tajikistan’s Third Periodic Report at the 63rd session in April/May 2018 provides additional and updated information on the topics covered in the June 2017 joint NGO submission to the Committee which provided input for the Committee’s preparation of the List of Issues.

The thematic chapters in this document relate to speci c articles of the Convention. The document concludes with a list of suggested recommendations to the Tajikistani authorities that are based on the issues and concerns raised in the thematic chapters. The main text contains short summaries of individual cases illustrating speci c violations. The annex contains detailed descriptions of selected cases which lawyers of the Coalition against Torture and Impunity worked on in the period under review.
