These include detainees, convicted persons serving sentences in (home) confinement, persons in the unit for forensic psychiatry, minors in youth homes, minors in correctional and residential treatment institutions and special education institutions, people with mental disorders or diseases in social and healthcare institutions, and aliens at the Aliens Centre. More complaints were received from imprisoned persons (detainees, prisoners) in 2015 than in 2014. We considered 22 complaints from detainees (19 in 2014) and 101 complaints from convicted persons (95 in 2014) (other complaints in this field are presented under individual sub-sections). In addition to handling individual complaints, we also continued to visit prisons for the purpose of implementing the tasks and powers under the National Prevention Mechanism (NPM), which is presented in a special report. Our work in this field was aimed at establishing whether the state consistently observes the rules and standards to which it is bound by the Constitution and international conventions to respect human rights when depriving people of their liberty, particularly regarding the human personality and dignity. When convicted persons are subject to penal sanctions, they must be ensured all fundamental human rights, except those explicitly deprived or restricted by law. The complaints of detainees and convicted persons were verified (in some cases with visits) at the relevant bodies (e.g. courts), particularly the Prison Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, prisons 42 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA FOR 2015 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA FOR 2015 43 2.3 RESTRICTION OF PERSONAL LIBERTY CASES CONSIDERED
