CRC/C/TKM/CO/1 page 7 (b) Develop community-based skills training programmes for parents, teachers and other professionals working with and for children, in order to encourage children to express their informed views and opinions; (c) Systematically ensure the active participation of children’s organizations in the development of national, regional and local policies or programmes affecting them; and (d) Provide further information in this respect in its next report. 3. Civil rights and freedoms (arts. 7, 8, 13-17 and 37 (a) of the Convention) Access to appropriate information 32. The Committee expresses concern about the fact that all sources of information - and media in particular - are subject to Government’s control and do not allow for diversity. Furthermore, the Committee, sharing the concerns recently expressed by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, regrets that access to foreign culture and media, including the Internet, is very limited. 33. The Committee recommends that the State party, in line with articles 13 and 17 of the Convention, ensure the right of the child to access to information and material from a diversity of national and international sources, especially those aimed at the promotion of his or her social, spiritual and moral well-being and physical and mental health. The State party should also take steps to expand access to Internet, including by supporting and facilitating projects in this respect such as the UNDP project “InfoTuk”, while providing adequate protection from dissemination of illegal content on the Internet, e.g. child pornography. Freedom of religion 34. The Committee is concerned that in Turkmenistan religious organizations encounter difficulties related to the procedure for their registration and face restrictions with respect to the exercise of their activities. The Committee is also concerned at reports of instances of raids on religious meetings and demolition of places of worship. 35. The Committee recommends that the State party respect the right of the child to freedom of religion. The State party should ensure that all religious organizations are free to exercise their right to freedom of religion or belief subject only to the limitations provided for in article 14 of the Convention. The Committee further recommends that the State party prevent, prohibit and punish any violent attack against religious activities, including demolition of places of worship. Prohibition of torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 36. The Committee is deeply concerned at the information that torture and ill-treatment of detainees, including children, is widespread, especially at the moment of apprehension and during pretrial detention, and used both to extract confessions or information and as an additional punishment after the confession.
