The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:
Article 2, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention. Work exacted as a consequence of a conviction in a court of law. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report whether work may be exacted from persons sentenced to imprisonment and, if so, to provide practical information on the conditions under which such work would be carried out. The Committee would like the Government to indicate whether regulations provided for in article 18 of the Act concerning the prison system (Act No. 44 of 29 April 1997) have been adopted and, if so, to provide a copy.

Article 2, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention. Work exacted as a consequence of a conviction in a court of law. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report whether work may be exacted from persons sentenced to imprisonment and, if so, to provide practical information on the conditions under which such work would be carried out. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would send a copy of the Act concerning the prison system (Act No. 44 of 29 April 1997) and of the Prison Regulations of 26 May 1997.
The Committee has noted with interest the information in the Government's first report. It would be grateful if the Government would include in its next report practical information relating to any work carried on in prisons (having regard in particular to Article 2(2)(c) of the Convention); and as to any legal proceedings for the illegal exaction of forced or compulsory labour (Article 25).
