Control and Complaints Reception Offices within their premises to receive citizens‟ complaints of human rights violations. Following the implementation of Business Process Engineering (BPR) at the federal level and in many regions across the country, prosecutors have also been assigned to police stations to assist in criminal investigations and ensure that human rights violations do not occur in the process. Courts of law are able to receive complaints of violation of human rights in the course of police investigations, and order investigations of any such allegations. In this connection, detainees in detention centers also claim for their freedom from inhuman treatment. The EHRC received reports from persons under custody in 49 detention centers that inmates who commit grave disciplinary offences are subjected to certain inhuman treatment by the detainees‟ disciplinary committees. Detainees also spoke of instances in certain prisons where they had been arbitrarily beaten by some prison wardens. Prison administrators investigated cases of abuse. They explained that certain disciplinary measures were taken where restraint has been used, or where detainees convicted of grave criminal offences have been handcuffed where there was a need to punish detainees who tried to attack other inmates. The action was taken, lest they try to escape while being escorted to court or for medical treatment. Ethiopia ratified the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2002 which now an integral part of the law of the land. In considering the issue of inhuman treatment and punishment in prisons, the government conducted focused investigations on whether there have been acts of torture against detainees. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, during the monitoring has conducted in prisons found that while there have been instances of unlawful punishment of detainees, there was no indication that this was of an institutional nature, nor was this ordered by public officials. The monitoring, and the data collected, also shows that acts of torture not inflicted against detainees at any institutional level. Some occasional cases have occurred and disciplinary action taken. The few instances of arbitrary beatings of detainees by some wardens in detention center appeared to be due to lack of awareness or understanding. Nevertheless, disciplinary measures are always taken against prison wardens that are found to have beaten detainees. National and international laws on the treatment of detainees provide that detainees are entitled to health services. In this regard, Article 27 of the Federal Prisons Establishment Proclamation, Article 11 of the Federal Detainees Treatment Regulation No. 138/2007 and regional regulations and 50
