The Commissioner for Administration was invited as NPM to submit her views and positions on the building of the new Police Department in Famagusta. In this context, the Commissioner has made her remarks to the Committee for the Protection of the Mentally Retarded Persons (L. 117/89) on the buildings requirements that should comply with international standards on respect for the rights of detainees. Special reference was also made to the need to ensure proper working conditions for the members of the Police, as well as to the rights of persons with disabilities who might, in the future, be detained in the said place. On the basis of the Commissioner’s remarks, the Police convened an extended meeting, held on 6 June 2017, to discuss the recommendations and practical measures for their implementation, both with regard to the Police Department building in Famagusta and the new Police Department building in Morfou.
