أوضاع السجون في الأرجنتين تنتهك حقوق السجناء ذوي الإعاقة – لجنة الأمم المتحدة

GENEVA (16 April 2014) - Argentine authorities failed to ensure that a prisoner with disabilities was able to use prison facilities and services on an equal basis with other detainees and are obliged to take steps to rectify the situation, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has found.

Argentina is also obliged to take action to prevent similar violations, including making sufficient and reasonable adjustments when requested, to ensure persons with disabilities can access prison facilities and health care.
