Cell #69 houses 13 persons, whereas usually 22-24 inmates are kept there at once. As a result, they have to sleep in turn. However, the people who get in the cell aren't included in the 'sleeping queue' for the first two days.

According to information of human rights defenders, the prisoners who refuse to cooperate with the investigation are purposefully put in this cell. The air in the cells is stuffy. In addition, one can catch tuberculosis there.

Several accused on the 'mass riot' case were put in this cell.
