ANNUAL REPORT 2019-OMBUDSMANNATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM detained persons, despite the fact that the police officers are interested in this type of training. 2.9.1. Material conditions Rooms for interrogation and conversation with persons deprived of liberty and minors The NPM team determined that there is a special room in PS Probishtip for conducting a conversation with persons deprived of liberty, but it is not equipped with appropriate equipment (no computer), however, conversations with persons deprived of liberty are conducted in this room. During the inspection of the room, the NPM team determined that the rights of the detained, deprived of liberty and detained persons were not displayed. The Law on Justice for Children stipulates that conversation with a child is conducted in separate rooms suitable for conversation with a child of its age, but the NPM team concluded that the Probishtip Police Station did not have a separate room for conversation with minors. Detention rooms PS Probishtip has two renovated rooms for individual detention, with one bed each. Both detention premises meet the standards for accommodating detainees in terms of their size. Namely, the first detention room is 5.29 m² in size, and the second room is 5.39 m² in size. The temperature in the detention rooms is within the acceptable range of about 23 оС, while the air humidity was around 42% RH. The detention rooms have been recently renovated. They are in operation, but not yet fully completed, in the context that there is no interphone for the detained persons to communicate with the shift manager, so the communication is accomplished by a police officer visit and talk at half-hour intervals or by calling (shouting or knocking) by the detained person. No video surveillance system was installed in the detention premises, and there were no instructions on the rights of the detained person. The access to the detention premises is exclusively by stairs, more precisely the standards for access of persons with special needs are not met, and at the same time, in PS Probishtip there is no separate rear entrance to these premises through which the detained and detained persons would be led. 76
