A/HRC/7/10/Add.1 page 55 Rafikov’s father was given a transcript from his son’s outpatient card on 14 December 2006. A second request based on Mr. Rafikov’s alleged poor health and need of extensive treatment was refused in early February 2007, on the grounds that there were no records of Mr. Rafikov’s state of health. The claims that medical personnel at the clinic had been intimidated by officials from the Tatarstan headquarters of the Federal Security Service were checked and also proved to be unfounded. 232. It was also established that Mr. Rafikov was admitted to Kazan pre-trial detention centre No. 1 on 14 December 2006 and detained in cells which are furnished in accordance with the requirements of Federal Act 103 of 15 July 1995, the Criminal Suspects and Defendants (Remand in Custody) Act. Every cell is fitted with a sufficient number of sleeping places for the detainees confined within it, the essential sanitary facilities, a television, a cabinet for storing food, proper ventilation and adequate lighting. The check brought to light no evidence of failure by the staff of the criminal corrections system to protect Mr. Rafikov’s right to personal safety. Observations 233.
