35. 委员会注意到，为减少被拘留者人数和改善拘留条件而采取的立法和其他措施，但仍感关切的是，有报告称，存在过度拥挤、自杀和拘留期间因缺乏适当医疗而死亡的事件，包括分别于 2016 年 6 月和 2017 年 1 月在格卢博科耶第 13刑事拘留营死亡的 Siarah Ishtchuk 和 Valentyn Pishchalau 的案件，以及在莫吉廖夫第 15 刑事拘留营死亡的 Alexander Lebovich 的案件。委员会注意到，缔约国正在努力修订公共监督委员会地位的程序，但感到关切的是，有报告称，这些委员会缺乏充分的独立性且效力有限，其主要原因是它们无法进入所有剥夺自由场所(第六、第七和第十条)。
35. The Committee notes the legislative and other measures taken to reduce the number of detainees and improve conditions of detention, but remains concerned at reports of overcrowding, suicides and deaths in custody due to a lack of proper medical care, including in the cases of Siarhei Ishchuk and Valentyn Pishchalau, who died in Penal Colony No. 13 in Hlybokaye in June 2016 and January 2017 respectively, and in the case of Alexander Lembovich, who died in Penal Colony No. 15 in Mahiliou. While noting that work on amending the procedure governing the status of the public oversight commissions is under way, the Committee is concerned at their reported lack of full independence and their limited effectiveness owing, inter alia, to their lack of access to all places of deprivation of liberty (arts. 6, 7 and 10).
