The woman was placed in the cell only three hours after giving birth. This undermined her health.
During her time in the cell, she was not given proper toiletries or the opportunity for proper hygiene. According to the statement, it is not clear whether the prisoner's cell was monitored.
When the prisoner was put in the cell, her poor condition was noticed. The maternity hospital had not yet been contacted. The prisoner's health deteriorated during the night.
Deputy Parliamentary Ombudsman Jussi Pajuoja has proposed monetary compensation.
The State Treasury estimated that reasonable reparations for the violation of fundamen-tal human rights is worth euro 3,500.
