►as for psychiatry hospitals, we take note of the actions taken by the Field regarding prevention of torture, pursuant to the notice ex officio regarding the information published in the media in 2017, regarding the death of a patient at the Hospital for Psychiatry and Safety Measures of Jebel, Timis county.
