Short-term deprivation of liberty situations of deprivation of liberty. Therefore, at the end of the inspection visits made this year this point was put once again to the competent authorities. In this regard, the DGP reports that it is studying the possibility of introducing a new form that includes notice of this right. In some of the interviews with detainees it was learned that this information had not been provided or the right had been refused, e.g. in the case of a detainee at the Central Registry of Detainees in Madrid who stated that “at the police station [he did not say which one] they treated me badly at first. I asked for habeas corpus and they wouldn’t let me write the application”. One of the 5 detainees interviewed during the visit to the CNP district station in Almería also stated “I asked to file habeas corpus proceedings but they took no notice”. This information was passed on to the custodial officers, who denied that the detainee had already made such a request and proceeded to process it forthwith. Finally, of all the CNP and GC establishments inspected in 2011 the following stand out: the CNP district station in Albacete, where 19 habeas corpus proceedings were filed in the course of the year, and the GC barracks in Arguineguín (Las Palmas), where there were 14.

Detainees are normally taken to see a doctor on request, as was observed during the inspection visit at the CNP district station in Huelva, when one of the detainees being interviewed asked for medical attention. The request was met immediately by the officers on duty in the holding cells. Another detainee, interviewed at the Regional Police headquarters for Andalusia in Granada, complained of stomach pains and stated that he had been seen by a doctor, who had diagnosed the problem as caused by the nervous state brought on by his arrest. Complaints were also received concerning medical attention, e.g. by a detainee at the Central District station in Madrid, who stated during the interview that he had asked to continue his methadone treatment but his request had been ignored. At the Central Registry of Detainees in Madrid two people complained in regard to this right: one stated that at the police station where he had been held (he did not identify it by name) he was at first not given medical attention: “I asked for a doctor but I had to wait until my lawyer arrived before I saw one”.
