CIE visited
39. In 2013 the CIEs of Barcelona, Madrid, Murcia, Tarifa (Cádiz) and

Ombudsman in the visits

40. The Ombudsman participated personally in two of the visits made
to CIE, specifically those of Tarifa (Cádiz) and Valencia. These were
follow-up visits the purpose of which was to convey, on site, to the responsible authorities, the conclusions drawn at the last inspection visits. The visit to the CIE of Barcelona was made after the death of one
detainee. Another two visits, those made to Madrid and Murcia, were
multidisciplinary, at which one external technical expert, specialised in
legal and forensic medicine participated, since one of the objectives of
these visits was to study and assess in depth the healthcare services
provided at these centres.
