Therefore, the Commissioner repeated her recommendations on the
improvement of the conditions of detention and treatment of detainees
which are summarised in the following points:
•
measures should immediately be taken to ensure natural ventilation
of the detention area;
•
measures should immediately be taken to create an outdoor exercise
area
•
the entertainment area should be redesigned and provide means of
creative entertainment activities;
•
a detention order should be obtained within 24 hours from arrest
and be kept in the detainee file;
•
detainees files must contain all the forms provided by the legislation
in force, and detainees must be fully informed of the Rules of
Detention and their Rights.
Furthermore, the Commissioner reiterated her recommendation to remove
the separating glass placed at the visitors area and to find other, milder
means to prevent prohibited substances from entering the detention centre.
With regard to the rights and treatment of persons with disabilities, the
Commissioner pointed out that, although considered according to the Police
suitable for the detention of persons with disabilities, the specific Detention
Centre is failing in almost all aspects of the rights of this particular group of
detainees, as these are enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities.
The Commissioner, as Independent Mechanism for the Promotion, Protection
and Monitoring of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities, drew the attention of the competent services to the provisions
