In this regard she noted in her 2005 report to the General Assembly (A/60/399, para. 80) that “[b]ecause the opportunity to practise one’s religion, either in private or in public, might easily be restricted by the fact of detention, the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners make specific reference to the need for prison authorities to allow prisoners to observe their religion and to have access to a minister of that religion.” Uzbekistan Urgent appeal sent on 9 December 2005 jointly with the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and the Special Rapporteur on the question on torture 325.
