This analytical report is extremely important for illustrating violations of Articles 9 (right to social security), 10 (protection of the family), 12 (right to health) and 15 (participation in cultural life) of the Covenant. The report describes the complete isolation of civilians in places of detention without contact with the outside world (holding them incommunicado), accompanied by psychological pressure, a ban on phone calls and correspondence, and no access to a lawyer or medical care. Such conditions not only violate their individual rights, but also deprive their families of the opportunity to provide care, support and the realisation of basic social rights.
