Annual Report 2014 of the National Preventive Mechanism
361. Special importance is given to the existence of a claim procedure to exist for
persons to be repatriated who consider that their fundamental rights have been
violated, to be able to use it, and have a copy evidencing their filing delivered to them
both in flights organised by Spain and in those operated by FRONTEX.
362. Satisfaction is expressed with regard to the fact that the recommendation made
for Spanish police escorts who participate in repatriation flights to use vests
permitting the nationality of the officers to be identified was accepted by a
decision of the Directorate General for the Police which establishes the inclusion of
badges bearing the statement España, in compliance with article 9 of the Code of
Conduct of FRONTEX.
Vest of the CNP of Spain
363. The need for all escorts participating in these operations to be identified by their
plate number must be remembered.
364. The airport facilities, used to host citizens to be deported, should have sufficient
furniture and access to toilets, water and food when boarding is delayed.
III.4.2
Centres of first aid and detention of foreign nationals
365. Set out below are the criteria that the NPM considers should be met at these
facilities of deprivation of liberty, notwithstanding the fact that those others
explained in general in the section on short-term deprivation of liberty are also
applicable.
366. Facilities hosting illegally staying foreign nationals who reach Spain in vessels
from the north of Africa, namely centres of first aid and detention of foreign
nationals, do not meet the most adequate conditions for persons who arrive to
them after a journey that usually takes some days in conditions of extreme duress
both physically and psychologically speaking.
