- The CGLPL was informed of the implementation of the collective transfers of persons taken in for questioning in Calais to CRA of the national territory, from 21 October 2015. During the visit of the CRA of Coquelles in July 2015, the inspectors had already observed that, since early June, ninety-one people had been transferred to other CRA in the territory of France, less than 48 hours after they arrived at the CRA of Coquelles or even a few hours after they were taken in for questioning (without being placed in the CRA of Coquelles), even though the occupancy rate of the CRA of Coquelles did not justify this. Being attentive to the fundamental rights of the thus transferred persons and especially to their right to legal advice (the period to contest the obligation to leave French territory is 48 hours, and the period to request for asylum is five days), the CGLPL sent the Minister of the Interior a letter dated 6 August 2015. This letter was not replied to and a few weeks later, a significant increase was noted in the number of people transferred daily from the police station or CRA of Coquelles towards other CRA of the territory: from two or three groups of five people transferred daily with a Beechcraft aircraft before 21 October, this number increased to two groups of twenty-five, i.e. fifty people were being transferred everyday to the CRA of Rouen, Metz, Marseille, Toulouse-Cornebarrieu, Nîmes, ParisVincennes or Mesnil-Amelot, using coaches or DASH 8 aircraft of the French civil security. Reports were sent on “transferred” persons. Deeming that the violations of fundamental rights observed during the visit of the CRA of Coquelles in July 2015 could be worsened due to the massive nature of the measure implemented on 21 October 2015, the CGLPL delegated four inspectors and one trainee, pursuant to Article 6-1 of the amended Law dated 30 October 2007, to monitor the people subject to this transfer measure, from the time when they were taken in for questioning until their arrival at the destination CRA, in this case the CRA of Nîmes, on 26 and 27 October 2015. Two other inspectors visited the CRA of Vincennes on 3 November 2015 to monitor the arrival of a new group of people from Calais. Finally, the Contrôleur général as well as two inspectors once again visited the police station of Coquelles on the night of 9-10 November 2015. The severity of the violations of fundamental rights that were observed led the Contrôleur général to send emergency recommendations to the Minister of the Interior dated 13 November29. 2.2.4 Results of the verifications at the closing of the case-file The Contrôleur général wished to know the results of the verifications conducted with the authorities as part of an inquiry case-file. From early 2015, a few indicators were set up to allow characterising the possible existence of a violation of a fundamental right, to know the result of the inquiry on the person deprived of liberty and to identify the actions taken in consequence by the Contrôleur général with respect to the authorities to whom the case was referred to. The following data showed that violations occurred (even partially) in 52.68% of the inquiry case-files. In 52.68% of the case-files, the problem had been resolved: either for the person, or for the future, or partially. Finally, as regards the actions taken, the Contrôleur général sent recommendations to the authorities concerned in 12.75% of cases. Corrective measures resulting from the inquiry addressed by the CGLPL to the authorities concerned were taken in close to 10% of the cases. No special follow-up was given by the Contrôleur général in 54.19% of the inquiry case-files, either because no violation of a fundamental right was proven, or because the person deprived of liberty was transferred or released, or due to a lack of information justifying the issue of recommendations or a call for vigilance. 29 Refer to chapter 2 of this report.
