Poročilo Varuha človekovih pravic Republike Slovenije o izvajanju nalog državnega preventivnega mehanizma za leto 2011 Čistost prostorov Cleanliness of rooms Policijske postaje imajo zaposleno čistilko oziroma sklenjeno pogodbo s čistilnim servisom. Razen umazanih sten v prostorih za pridržanje (PP Ptuj) in v prostorih za pogovore oziroma za zaslišanje (PP Jesenice, PP Ribnica) so prostori bili čisti. Pohvaliti je treba, da so bili prostori za pridržanje na PP Cerknica v nasprotju z zadnjim obiskom čisti in da so na PP Ribnica prostor za pridržanje številka 1 prepleskali. Police stations employ a cleaner or have contracts with a cleaning service. Except for the dirty walls in detention rooms (PP Ptuj) and in rooms for discussions or interrogation (PP Jesenice, PP Ribnica), the rooms were clean. It is commendable that the detention rooms in PP Cerknica were clean, unlike on the previous visit, and that detention room no. 1 in PP Ribnica had been repainted. Sanitarije Toilets Sanitarije so bile ustrezno urejene: WC-školjka v prostorih za daljše pridržanje in WCpočepnik z izplakovanjem v prostorih, ki so namenjeni krajšemu pridržanju. The toilets were adequately arranged: the toilet bowl in the rooms for longer detention, and squat toilet with flushing in the rooms for shorter detention. Video- in zvočni nadzor Video- and audio-surveillance Pravilnik o policijskih pooblastilih določa, da mora policist, ki izvaja pridržanje, poskrbeti za varnost pridržane osebe, od njene namestitve v prostor za pridržanje do izpustitve. Za nadzorovanje pridržanih oseb lahko policist po tem Pravilniku uporablja naprave za prenos zvočnih in slikovnih znakov. Uporaba teh naprav mora biti v prostoru vidno označena. Pravilnik pri tem jasno določa, da nadzor s tehničnimi sredstvi ne izključuje neposrednega fizičnega nadzora. The Rules on police powers specify that police officers conducting detention must provide for the security of the detained person from the time they are placed in the detention room until they are released. According to these Rules, the police officer may use devices for audio and video signal transmission to supervise detained persons. Use of these devices must be clearly indicated in the room. The Rules clearly specify that surveillance using technical means does not exclude direct physical surveillance. Zgolj na eni PP (PP Koper) je bilo ugotovljeno, da zorni kot videonadzornega sistema v prostorih za pridržanje obsega tudi toaletni del prostora za pridržanje, kar je v nasprotju z Normativi o gradnji, adaptaciji in opremi prostorov za pridržanje. Na to smo opozorili in predlagali, da se zaradi pravice do zasebnosti napake odpravijo. V odzivnem poročilu je MNZ zagotovilo, da so na kameri takoj pokrili del, ki nadzira predel s sanitarijami, z ustreznim posegom pa bodo navedeno uredili tako, kot je določeno v Normativih za gradnjo, adaptacijo in opreme prostorov za pridržanje. Only in one PP (PP Koper) was it established that the viewing angle of the video surveillance system in detention rooms also includes the toilet, which is in violation of the Standards on the Construction, Adaptation and Equipment of Detention Rooms. We pointed this out and proposed the deficiencies be eliminated to allow the right to privacy. In its response report, MNZ assured us they had immediately covered the part of the camera surveilling the toilet area, and would take further measures to arrange the situation as specified in the Standards on the Construction, Adaptation and Equipment of Detention Rooms. Na eni PP (PP Idrija) je bil med obiskom DPM pokvarjen videonadzorni sistem v prostorih za pridržanje. Sogovornik je pojasnil, da je odprava napake že naročena. DPM je že med obiskom predlagal, da zato dežurni policist ob pridržanjih opravi pogostejši nadzor pridržane osebe in da pričakuje, da bodo napake na videonadzornem sistemu odpravili čim prej. In one PP (PP Idrija), the video surveillance system in detention rooms was out of order at the time of the DPM visit. Our discussion partner explained that they had already ordered the repair. The DPM suggested during the visit that the duty officer perform more frequent supervision of the detained person during detention and expected that the deficiency of the video-surveillance system would be eliminated as soon as possible. Večina PP ima v svojih prostorih za pridržanje videonadzor in klicni zvonec, vendar opozorilo (nalepka) o govorni napravi ponekod ni bilo označeno (PP Ptuj, PP Šentilj in PP Jesenice). Naš predlog, da naj PP zagotovijo opozorilo (nalepko) tudi v prostorih za pridržanje, je MNZ sprejelo in zagotovilo, da bo to uredilo oziroma je že uredilo. Pohvaliti velja PP Škofjo Loko, ki je upoštevala priporočilo DPM od zadnjega obiska, da je treba v prostor za krajša pridržanja namestiti ustrezno obvestilo za govorno napravo. Prehrana in voda Večina PP zagotavlja pridržanim osebam hrano v obliki t. i. »lunch paketov«, ki jih je več vrst, med njimi tudi posebni za vegetarijance, katerih rok uporabnosti je ustrezen. Večina PP (ki izvaja daljša pridržanja) ima sklenjene pogodbe o dostavi hrane iz bližnjih gostiln (zlasti v primeru pridržanja do 48 ur). DPM pozdravlja, da je PP Ribnica upoštevala predlog in priskrbela plastenke za vodo. Predlagali smo, naj se tudi to čim prej spremeni in pridržanim osebam omogoči stalen dostop do pitne vode v prostoru za pridržanje. 22 Implementation of the Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2011 Državni preventivni mehanizem v Republiki Sloveniji po Opcijskem protokolu h Konvenciji OZN proti mučenju in drugim krutim, nečloveškim ali poniževalnim kaznim ali ravnanju The detention rooms of the majority of PPs are equipped with video-surveillance and a bell, but in some places there was no warning (notice) about the audio device (PP Ptuj, PP Šentilj and PP Jesenice). Our proposal for the PP to provide a warning (a notice) also in detention rooms was accepted by MNZ, who also assured us they would or had already done so. PP Škofja Loka, which implemented the DPM recommendation from the previous visit and fitted the room for shorter detentions with a relevant notice of the audio device, should be commended. Food and water The majority of PPs provide detained persons with food in the form of different types of lunch packages, including those for vegetarians; the expiry date was acceptable. The majority of PPs (conducting longer detentions) have contracts for food supply with nearby restaurants (particularly for detentions up to 48 hours). The DPM welcomes the fact that PP Ribnica considered the proposal and provided water bottles. We proposed they also change this as soon as possible and provide detained persons in detention rooms with constant access to drinking water.
