Complaints about prison conditions were made repeatedly during the last 17 years by the Macedonia chapter of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights and other human rights-oriented NGOs, as well as by inmates' relatives and lawyers.
Primjedbe na zatvorske uvjete u posljednjih 17 godina često su iznosili makedonski ogranak Helsinškog odbora za ljudska prava i druge nevladine udruge za ljudska prava, kao i rođaci i odvjetnici zatvorenika.
