On 7 and 8 April, representatives of the CPT attended an expert meeting organised by the University of Essex on the implementation of the UN revised standard minimum rules on the treatment of prisoners. Regarding the World Health Organization, co-operation was maintained through the participation of a CPT representative at the WHO-HIPP Steering Group Meeting on Prisons and Health in Lisbon in May.
