2.12.1. Material conditions Rooms for interrogation and conversation with persons deprived of liberty and minors The NPM team determined that there is no special room in the Police Station Demir Hisar for conducting a conversation with the persons deprived of liberty, so the conversations with the persons deprived of liberty are conducted in the room of the shift manager. The Law on Justice for Children stipulates that conversation with a child is conducted in special rooms suitable for conversation with a child, but the Police Station does not have such premises either. Detention rooms As part of the Demir Hisar Police Station, there is only one renovated room for individual detention, with one bed. The detention room meets the standards for accommodation of detained persons in terms of the size, the room has an area of 7,70 m². The detention room has been recently renovated. It is 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. However, there is no video surveillance system in the detention room. The detention room meets the standards for daylight and extra-artificial light, it has a window through which people have access to daylight. The room does not have a special exhaust fan for air purification and ventilation is carried out naturally through a small opening in the upper part of the door. The central heating and cooling system has not yet been installed in the detention room. In the detention room there were no visible instructions about the rights of the detained person. The access to the room 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 Demir Hisar there is no separate rear entrance to these rooms through which the detained and detained persons would be led. The Demir Hisar Police Station does not have a separate room for child detention, different from adult detention premises, although it is explicitly provided for in the Law on Justice for Children. www. ombudsman.mk 95
