Convicted Ulyanovsk colony could personally appeal to the Commissioner for human rights

The Commissioner for Human Rights in the Ulyanovsk region Sergey Lyulkov visited correctional colony No. 3. During the working visit, he got acquainted with the activities of the establishment of the regional FSIN and held a personal reception of convicts.

The main purpose of the visit was to check the observance of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens serving sentences in a correctional institution. Sergey Lyulkov studied the organization of the colony, paying special attention to the issues of legal support of convicts.

In addition, the regional ombudsman met with prisoners who had previously sent appeals. During the personal reception, they were able to ask questions and get the necessary clarifications.

Such visits are among the mechanisms for monitoring human rights in places of detention. They allow convicts to contact the commissioner directly and report problems.

The violations identified or the results of consideration of specific appeals were not reported to the regional FSIN.
