On May 18, the Senate of the Oliy Majlis approved a law aimed at improving the activities of pre-trial detention centers and control mechanisms over parolees. The document clearly defines the obligations of individuals released on parole.
According to the law, supervision of parolees will be strengthened. They will be required to periodically report to authorized bodies for registration in accordance with established procedures. This measure is aimed at monitoring their social adaptation and preventing recidivism.
The law also grants the court the authority to consider the cancellation of obligations imposed on a parolee, either in whole or in part. In such cases, a lawyer or the individual themselves may submit a relevant petition.
The procedure for revoking parole is also being clarified. Such matters will be reviewed by a judge of the district or city court for criminal cases in the area where the convict resides.
The document establishes the legal framework for supervising parolees, their obligations, and the procedure for terminating such supervision, which will serve to reduce ambiguities in practice.
Furthermore, certain conditions for individuals held in pre-trial detention centers will be improved. They will have the right to at least two hours of daily exercise on weekends and public holidays. Provisions for obtaining additional clothing and footwear are also being established.
The amount of money allowed for individuals in pre-trial detention to purchase food and essential items will be increased to the equivalent of one minimum monthly wage.
In short, the new law aims to strengthen control over parolees while improving certain legal and living conditions for those in pre-trial detention. The primary goal is to maintain a balance between order, control, and human rights.
