(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 31. Azerbaijan is introducing new regulations concerning the food and material support for foreigners and stateless persons held in the detention center, Trend reports.

The regulation was outlined in an amendment to the Migration Code, which was discussed during today's session of the Legal Policy and State Building Committee of the Azerbaijani Parliament.

According to the draft, foreigners and stateless persons held in the centers are entitled to three free hot meals daily, prepared within the centers, that adhere to material and living standards that meet modern hygiene and nutritional quality requirements. The preparation of meals will take into account the age, health condition, and religious traditions of the detainees.

The centers are required to provide necessary material and living conditions in compliance with sanitary, hygienic, and fire safety regulations. Detention under conditions that undermine human dignity is strictly prohibited.

Detainees are housed in living quarters with a minimum usable area of four square meters per person and are provided with individual sleeping accommodations and bedding.

If detainees lack appropriate clothing, they will receive attire suitable for the climate, which must be distinct from that issued to individuals serving prison sentences.
