that an individual(s) may have been exposed to inappropriate treatment. During the monitoring mission in October 2014, the members of the Special Preventive Group examined cases of 956 detainees 150 out of which was selected for closer scrutiny. The members found violations of various types in 41 cases. In 17 protocols there were no indications of injuries which were described in the protocols of external examinations upon admission. The table below provides information on these cases. N Detention Protocols protocol of external examination in temporary detentioin facilities 200 1. No injuries found Redness on the face 2. No injuries found Excoriation on the upper limb and the face 3. No injuries found Redness and excoriations on the face, back and upper limb 4. No injuries found Scratches on the neck, face and upper limb 5. No injuries found Hyperemia in the area of the face 6. No injuries found Wound in the area of the face and upper limb 7. Blank Excoriation and hyperemia in the areas of face and the back 8. Blank Hyperemia in the areas of the neck and the back 9. Blank Hyperemia in the areas of the neck and the back 10. No injuries found Excoriations in the upper and lower limbs 11. No injuries found Hyperemia in the areas of the neck, the back and upper limb 12. No injuries found Hyperemia in the areas of the neck, the back and upper limb 13. No injuries found Excoriations in the areas of the neck, the back, and lower and upper limb 14. No injuries found Excoriation on the lower limb 15. No injuries found Hyperemia in the area of the neck and on the lower limb 16. No injuries found Excoriations on the lower limb and the face 17. No injuries found Extravasation on the upper limb It is worth noting that in seven cases the injuries in the area of the face indicated in the external examination protocols could not have gone unnoticed by the police officer. Therefore, there is strong presumption that in 17 cases indicated above detainees had sustained physical injuries before they were placed in a detention facility. In addition, in these 17 cases, unlike protocols filed in the detention facility, detention protocols do not provide full information about injuries found on the bodies of the detainees. In regards to the above said, the European Court of Human Rights states that if a person sustained injuries in custody when entirely under the control of police officers, 200 Information on injuries has been copied without any changes 156 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM OF GEORGIA
