Article 22 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, according to the information supplied in the Government's report, benefits due in the case of temporary incapacity are henceforth suspended in the case of the imprisonment of the beneficiary further to the adoption of Law No. 59 of 1986, which includes an amendment to the Workmen's Accident Compensation Insurance Law.
