  • torture
Information received concerning the conditions of detention and treatment of Mr. Karim Massimov who is currently being held in pretrial detention and whose health, it is reported, has deteriorated to such an extent that there are concerns for his life and well-being. Among the many allegations, I am particularly preoccupied by his continuous period of 12 months in solitary confinement which, if credible, would be in clear violation of international standards and a good faith application of those standards; the physical conditions of his cell and the impact on his health, and restrictions on access to proper medical care and medications. Either individually or cumulatively, such treatment or conditions – if established – would amount to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in violation of international law.
