Mr Ahmed Saif Hashid says in an article regarding the question of visiting prisons affiliate of the political security, the committee on rights and freedoms at the parliament was divided into two. One, the larger part, sees the committee should not visit detention places of the political security, as it is has not used to do so and may create certain problems and difficulties. The minority at the parliament sees that visiting detention places of the political security is an essential part of the committee's tasks as long as it is concerned with rights and freedoms.
The more important thing is to study deeply the indications that the majority of the said committee is against the desire to visit detention places of the political security.
