The CPT’s delegation found that there had been little improvement to the living conditions of forensic and acute patients at the Sokolac Psychiatric Clinic, with the notable exception of the construction of a new hospital refectory. The report contains detailed recommendations aimed at remedying this problem. Emphasis is also placed on the need to take measures to reinforce staffing levels and introduce individual treatment plans for each patient. In response, the authorities provide information on the ongoing measures being taken to improve living conditions at the Clinic, and state that all patients do have an individual treatment plan. On the day before the visit, patients at the Zenica Prison Forensic Psychiatric Annexe had been moved to a recently renovated facility located outside the main prison perimeter wall. Living conditions in this new facility were distinctly better than those that had prevailed in the Annexe’s former location, in the prison’s highsecurity unit. Nevertheless, they were still not ideal, and there had been no improvements as regards treatment and staffing levels in the Annexe. Most significantly, the authorities’ response provides information on an interEntity agreement for the setting up of a single forensic institution for the whole of the country, the Sokolac Special Hospital for Forensic Psychiatry, a reform that has long been advocated by the CPT. Report and response published March 2010, CPT/Inf (2010) 10 and CPT/Inf (2010) 11 Report on the ad hoc visit to Italy in July 2009 and response of the Italian authorities (interception of migrants at sea) 46. The report addresses the policy of the Italian authorities to intercept, at sea, migrants approaching Italy’s Southern Mediterranean maritime border and to send them back to Libya or other non-European States (frequently referred to as the “push-back” policy). The CPT’s delegation focused on push-back operations that took place between May and the end of July 2009 and sought to examine the system of safeguards in place to ensure that no one is sent to a country where there are substantial grounds for believing that he/she would run a real risk of being subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The delegation also examined the treatment afforded to migrants during the time that they were deprived of their liberty by the Italian authorities in the course of such operations. 25
