The officials who were interviewed stated that in only two premises persons were detained and the other two premises were not used due to a malfunctioning video surveillance system. The hygiene in the rooms was extremely low, and in one of the rooms under the bed there was bedding that was full of faeces and vomit from which an unbearable smell spread. The factual situation found raises the suspicion that the detained persons are not allowed to use the toilet freely when they need it. The police station does not have special rooms for keeping children, as provided in the Law on Justice for Children, which states that “Authorized officials of the Ministry of Interior keep the child in premises suitable for keeping a child of its age, different from adult detention premises. “ Regarding the treatment of children, it was pointed out that so far no child has been detained at the Police Station, and in cases when there was a need to have a conversation, it was conducted in the interrogation rooms and a parent must be called, and in this respect it was emphasized that there is a good cooperation and communication with the Centre for Social Work. Sanitary node As part of the Bit Pazar Police Station, there are separate toilets for detainees and employees. In the part where the detention rooms are located, there are special toilets for the detained persons with functional toilets, but with extremely low level of hygiene. Also, the fact that in one of the toilets behind the flush toilet container and the toilet bowl there were socks with faeces, and at the same time in none of the toilets there was toilet paper, indicates that the detainees did not have toilet paper available when using the toilet. 2.2.2. Realization of the rights of the detained persons At the very entrance of the Police Station, a poster was displayed in a visible place, emphasizing the rights of the summoned, detained and detained persons in seven languages, and in a visible place in the hallway of the Police Station the Code of Police Ethics is placed, also a box for sending appeals and complaints from citizens to the Sector for Internal Control and Professional Standards has been set up in a visible place in the hall. The team of the National Preventive Mechanism was informed by the Assistant Commander and the Head of the Security Zone that the detainees and persons deprived of their freedom at the Police Station are also informed about the right to call a defence counsel, to inform a third party about their deprivation from freedom, as well as the right to seek medical care. www. ombudsman.mk 27
