nationals are not always present, and their contact details, as well as those of the consulate
authorities, are often not displayed; the internal regulations of the LRA are never provided to the
detainees; it is impossible request for asylum.
The conditions for receiving people detained in LRA do not sufficiently maintain their
dignity. In general, the rooms are well maintained, but there is no access to an outdoor area for
smoking or just to get some fresh air, to the extent that outings are very rare and strongly depend
on the needs of the services and officers present. This situation can cause significant tension and
result in the detainees being tranquilised. Access to telephones, while often granted, is not
accompanied with any protection of the confidentiality of the conversations, and mobile phones
are sometimes tolerated, unless they have an in-built camera. However, administrative detention
should not include any restriction in this matter.
The precariousness of LRA and the lack of resources have led the CGLPL to recommend
to the Government that the specific situation of each LRA must be audited so that all of those that
are not strictly necessary can be shut down.
The CGLPL, having visited each of the CRA several times and having issued
recommendations that do not fit comfortably with the facts, has requested the Government
to schedule a systematic implementation of these recommendations and to ensure that they
are monitored. As regards the LRA, he suggests that the situation of each facility must be
audited so that all of those that are not strictly necessary can be shut down.
