THE GROUP HAS ALSO LOOKED INTO 16 OTHER ALLEGATIONS OF ILL-TREATMENT OR ASSAULT CONTAINED IN THE PRISONS DEPARTMENT'S RECORDS AND HAS NOTED THAT, IN THE FOUR CASES IN WHICH THE ALLEGATIONS WERE PROVED, DISCIPLINARY ACTION HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN AGAINST THE STAFF CONCERNED.
THE GROUP HAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY QUESTION OF THE GOVERNMENT ADOPTING A POLICY OF DELIBERATE DEPRIVATION TOWARDS THE REFUGEES : ON THE CONTRARY, THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GENUINE CONCERN AT ALL LEVELS FOR THE REFUGEES' WELL-BEING.
THE GROUP PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE MANY GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, AUXILIARY SERVICES AND VOLUNTARY AGENCIES WHICH HAVE CONTRIBUTED TOWARDS THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE REFUGEES. IN PARTICULAR, IT COMMENDS THE PRISONS DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR GOOD WORK AS CAMP MANAGERS.
