Annual Report 2015 - Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism officio administration should extract, keep and archive images of incidents in case they are required by the judicial or administrative authority. 186.  Various cases were also opened into suspected ill treatment within the sphere of immigration. 130 Repatriation operations §349 al 364 AR 2014 187.  As a result of the supervision of a Madrid-Colombia-Santo Domingo foreign national repatriation flight (January 28th to 30th 2015), an interview was held with a Colombian citizen from the Las Palmas and Madrid CIE who presented an injury to their right eyebrow and a blow to their right eye which they confirmed had bled. They said that the doctor on duty had only carried out a visual examination and that they were quickly taken to the vehicle assigned to the repatriation operation. The doctor and DUE who provided healthcare on board the repatriation flight stated, following examination, that despite the bruises suffered they were lucid and in a fit state to travel. The administration refuted this version of events and submitted the medical report prepared by the CIE medical staff, in which it was highlighted that the detainee had intentionally hurt himself, and that the injury did not require stitches nor posed any obstacle to travel. Incident on a repatriation flight to the Dominican Republic 188.  In another complaint, the person appearing requested that this institution intervene following the actions of the police during a repatriation flight involving a Dominican citizen. The events were gathered on video and put on the internet, which prompted the opening of a confidential investigation by the competent administrative body. The images showed a woman, presumably from the state law enforcement organisations, repeatedly striking the citizen who was going to be repatriated. Information was requested from the CGEF, which in turn pointed out that they had opened two investigations: one by Pre-trial Investigation Court No.39 in Madrid (Prior Proceedings 2750/2015) in order to clarify the police actions, and another by the CNP (under Confidential Disclosure) for the purposes of determining the possible disciplinary liabilities. In the absence of a judicial ruling the case is suspended. Escape of immigrants during their transfer 189. A complaint was processed from an organisation who raised the situation of some Algerian citizens detained in the Murcia CIE who presented haematomas, erosions and contusions for which they were being treated. The facts had been related to the Magistrate Judge of the Murcia CIE, who had reported that all the injuries had received medical attention and that, in case of an inmate with a fracture in their legs, a transfer had been ordered to the Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital in Murcia. The CGEF reported that when the transfer got under way of 16 Algerian immigrants (boat 18/15) and 24 people of Sub-Saharan origin (boat 19/15) in a DGP bus with police escort from the temporary-stay immigration units in Almeria to the jail cells in the Regional Police Headquarters, an escape from the police bus took place. The Algerian immigrants assaulted various police officers and pulled down the upper emergency hatch of the vehicle before throwing it outside. Eight of them escaped. During the pursuit, six of them were caught and put up significant physical resistance to their detention. The minimum force necessary to be able to con-
