Closed Reception Center for Foreigners, Kareç – Date- 19.03.2015 The People’s Advocate Institution, through the National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture (NMPT) has instituted the administrative investigation regarding the protest of 19 foreign irregular citizens of the Closed Center of Kareç, who have participated in the hunger strike since 19.03.2015, 08.00 hrs. The staff of People’s Advocate has closely monitored the situation and has managed to communicate with the authorities of the institution and with people housed at that center, including those on hunger strike, who seek not to be treated closed at that center but to return to the country wherefrom they have entered the Albanian territory. The foreign citizens' decision to protest in this manner and form is personal and must be respected by any state administration body, including the Ministry of Health. The Head of the Closed Reception Center for Irregular migrants in Karec made known that during the strike, the persons suffering health issues were treated at the Regional Hospital of Durres, and they were taken there by the institution's vehicles, due to the absence of an ambulance in the Center and since it was impossible for the Hospital's ambulance to cover the situation for 24 hours in row. We would like to bring to your attention the fact that the medical staff of the Center does not possess the capacities to closely monitor for 24 hours the condition of the persons on strike within the Center's premises. The normative acts existing in our country do not foresee the right to strike. Thus, the socialjudicial relations regulating the hunger strike are not regulated by our legislation and regarding this problem we have suggested the Ministry of Justice to review the option of preparing a draftlaw and forwarding it to the Parliament in order to fill the legal vacuum. Article 21 of the Constitution foresees that the life of a person is protected by law. Thus, our Constitution is clear that the public administration bodies, medical service and police are responsible for the protection of life by law and safeguarding of this constitutional and fundamental right of human beings. One of the most fundamental human rights enshrined by article 25 of the Constitution and article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms provides that none shall be subjected to torture or to degrading treatment 80
