Heba Press – Muhammad Zaruh

We have received complaints from detainees who pass their sanctions within the Zayo agricultural prison, in which they express their deep dissatisfaction with the circumstances which they have described as the “tragic” that they live daily within the penitentiary institution. The prisoners have affirmed, by the complaints that we have received, that their suffering worsens in the light of ignorance of their humanitarian requests, stressing that their current conditions do not take into account the minimum conditions of dignity and rights.

Among the most important problems mentioned in complaints is the spread of insects within cells, despite frequent spray attempts with pesticides that have not obtained any effective result, as they said. This situation, according to complaints, makes the environment of unhealthy accommodation and negatively affects their physical and psychological health, which increases their sufferings during the judgment of their sentence.

The prisoners also expressed their groan on the new conditions imposed on communication with their families, because they were not allowed to make one telephone call per week, not exceeding three minutes. And they considered this procedure as an unfair reduction in their right to family communication, and it is the right to consider it essential within the penitentiary institution.

In addition, complaints have spoken of what prisoners have described as ill -treatment by certain employees, in addition to large suffering due to overcrowding inside cells, as the number of prisoners exceeds the capacity of the chambers. This, as they say, affects the conditions of sleep, hygiene and intimacy, and increases daily tensions within the institution.

In the same context, a certain number of families of prisoners have expressed their great concern about the situation, since their children live in inhuman conditions that threaten their physical and psychological security. Thanks to their contacts, families demanded an urgent intervention by the General Commission for the Administration of Prisons and Reintegration, and to send an independent Inspection Committee to determine the reality of the situation within the prison and work to improve it.

For its part, in the context of opinion and other opinions, an official source of the institution declared that the overcrowding observed in Zayo prison is an “ordinary case” compared to other prisons at national level, stressing at the same time that the administration strives to attack the organization and to ensure the security of the institution.
