7 not comply with the minimum standards that would allow an adequate follow-up of the protective measures that had been ordered. This being so because there is no information regarding the urgent and immediate actions that the State had to adopt, and also because the information submitted regarding the current situation of the beneficiaries of these measures is superficial and not detailed and is not duly supported by evidence. All the foregoing prevents the Commission from making any objections in such respect. The Commission further stated, inter alia, the following: a) regarding the first issue to be resolved (to protect the lives and physical integrity of all the persons that are deprived of their liberty and are detained in the Araraquara Penitentiary, as well as to protect the lives and physical integrity of those persons that may be admitted in the future as prisoners or detainees, and to regain the control over such penitentiary:) i. the State acknowledges that the unit where hundreds of beneficiaries are deprived of their liberty does not have the minimum decent conditions and that the State does not provide security nor control over the open yards in the Araraquara Penitentiary; ii. in spite of the fact that the State has affirmed that the interventions of the military police are being performed respecting the individual rights of the inmates, the Commission stated that there are contradictory versions regarding the violence used in said interventions. There also exist several records evidencing the abusive use of force, including massacres perpetrated during the intervention of said task force in detention centers in the state of San Paulo; iii. the State has not complied with its obligation to open the doors at the place where the beneficiaries are detained so that the security agents may have access. Neither has the State complied with the immediate and effective adoption of all measures that are necessary to protect the rights to life and to physical, psychological and moral integrity of the beneficiaries so that they may enjoy decent detention conditions. There are still unacceptable detention conditions in the Araraquara Penitentiary, there are no state agents and there is an impending risk to suffer serious and irreparable damage; iv. regarding the referrals made by the State, the criterion adopted of transferring first those inmates that had not been involved in the riot, and then subsequently transfer those who had indeed participated in the event, might indicate that keeping the latter under such inhumane detention conditions would be a retaliation for their participation in the riots that have occurred. Likewise, in case the schedule that the State informed is completed, it would take almost ten weeks or two and a half months to solve the situation at the Penitentiary, without any parallel immediate actions being taken in order to regain control and guarantee the safety of the beneficiaries. b) regarding the second issue to be resolved (to allow access to medical staff, to relocate those who suffer from contagious diseases and to provide both in terms of quantity and quality, all the food, clothes and products for personal hygiene that may be necessary:) the medical staff assigned to the Penitentiary does not have direct access to the beneficiaries. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that the State has informed about the delivery of medicines for the inmates, this does not constitute a sufficient degree of medical attention to protect life and integrity; c) regarding the third issue to be resolved (to substantially reduce the overcrowding, to divide inmates into different categories and to allow inmates to be
