a detainee, they would rather use information through personal professional associations than call the General Inspection, as they thought the General Inspection would not respond adequately. As for securing a meeting with a detainee in police custody and temporary detention facilities in a confidential environment, lawyers positively described the possibility of meeting in separate (investigative) rooms in temporary detention facilities. Lawyers say there is no proper environment for a confidential meeting with a detainee at a police station. Informing the families According to data processed by the Special Preventive Group, in 2020, family contact occurred within 3 hours as set by the law302 in 84% of cases processed. Compared to the previous year, the situation in this regard has slightly deteriorated, although overall it is still stable.303 In addition, the General Inspection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should investigate all cases where no notification was made to the family and determine the reason for non-notification. Since in case of administrative detention, it depends on the will of the detainee whether they will inform the relative about the fact of detention304 and since the fact of requesting notification is not recorded anywhere, it is difficult to determine to what extent this right is secured in the case of administratively detained persons. In addition to being a guarantee of protection from ill-treatment the notification to a family member is directly related to the detainee's access to a lawyer. In an interview with a special preventive group, detainees and lawyers stated that the lawyer was mainly contacted by a family member/relative and not by a police officer. 3.4.3. Medical examination Monitoring results show that detainees received timely medical care during their time under police control, except in one case where a detainee received multiple injuries and lost consciousness while resisting arrest and the use of force by police.305 Police officers took him to the police station in the same condition and only called an ambulance when the detainee regained consciousness. On the positive side, the number of isolators where the medical room operates is increasing year by year,306 which, in addition to providing timely medical care, is an important mechanism for detecting and documenting cases of ill-treatment. As for the meeting of the detainee and the doctor in a confidential environment, even in 2020, a number of detainees indicated that the meeting with the doctor was attended by the staff of the temporary placement isolator. A similar case was witnessed by members of a special preventive group directly at the Ozurgeti Temporary Detention Center. Doctors note that for a greater sense of security, they sometimes ask for an employee to be present or leave the door open.
