Let the Ambulance Come into a Cell ("Russian Newspaper, 04.02.2015)

Medical care to people in the so-called special institutions should civilian doctors render who are not in the service of the Interior Ministry. Such a bill offering from January 1 next year, go to the service of temporarily detained solely by municipal health professionals, developed in the Ministry of Interior and placed in the legal portal for public examination.

The adoption of such a law, according to the Interior Ministry, more fully ensure the rights of people held in special institutions for medical care. This will ensure the independence of the examination of departmental interests, including the conduct of medical examinations and testing for the presence of the physical injuries. And the police are happy to get rid of non-core performance, redundant and overlapping functions, reduce the burden on your staff.

The developers of the bill refer to Russia's international obligations. For example, the recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture on July 15, 2011, December 3, 2012 and November 8, 2013 to seriously consider the possibility of translating the entire medical staff working in the institutions, in the jurisdiction of the structure, not part of the Russian Interior Ministry. It was considered that such a measure would be the best guarantee of complete independence of medical staff in relation to their official duties. There is also the paragraph 42 of the Istanbul Protocol, submitted by the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations on the 9th of August, 1999, which provides "the right of persons deprived of liberty, access to a doctor, including, if a person wishes, to a doctor, which the person deprived of liberty will choose on their own. "

To the point, the Russian Interior Ministry believes that the question should be addressed to the sobering-up station. Previously, these institutions have provided assistance to people detained in a state of moderate and severe intoxication. Now that was not sobering-up stations, selected on the street drunks taken to the duty part, and that the violation.

In general, the theme of the so-called "monkey", which may suddenly meet any Russian citizen, is not new. The most acute problem arose after the tragic accident in the Kazan police department, "Far", where employees tortured a detainee to death.
