the Ministry of Justice, in cooperation with the Ministry of Women's Affairs,
review the file of every single woman currently in detention to verify whether
-There is a valid judgement sentencing the detainee to imprisonment, or in the
case of pretrial detention, an order by the authority competent under the new
Criminal Procedure Law;
-The woman was found guilty of or is accused of a crime expressly punishable
under the 1977 Criminal Code or another codified (written) law currently in
force, emanating from a government authority competent to legislate in
criminal matters;
-The woman has enjoyed a fair trial with a right to defence and respect of
other
internationally recognized guarantees to a fair trial.
