Thank you,
Mr President,the UK fully supports the Special Rapporteur focus on the importance of adequate detention conditions in prisons.
Detainees must be treated with humanity and dignity.This is a clear obligation under the International Covenant on Civil and Political rights.
With this in mind,we encourage all states to ensure allegations of mistreatment are thoroughly investigated and to fully comply with the international obligations.
As reflected in your report,all states must guarantee minimum standards of humane treatment.We share the concerns outlined in your press release of January 2024,that some of the evidence that may be used to prosecute Jimmy Lee was allegedly obtained through toture Andy Lee. no evidence gained by torture can be valid evidence.
Within the UK,we are taking urgent action to improve prison safety and security.This is alongside wide of reforms to overhaul the prison system focused on the rehabilitation of offenders and delivering safer prisons.
To reduce UK prison populations, we are reforming the license period for offenders,serving an imprisonment for public protection sentence.The forms include a clear statutory presumption that the license will be terminated by the parole board at the end of the 3 year qualifying period.
Special Rapporteur, what is the best practices to combat overcrowding in prisons have you observed from states?
Thank you.
