the swedish migration agency 84 2014 and 2015. For this reason, in the Swedish Migration Agency’s view, there is a need to reduce unauthorised items in the detention centre with the intention of increasing security for detainees, for example.9 The Parliamentary Ombudsman expressed an understanding of the Swedish Migration Agency’s view that increased possibilities to search for illicit items would increase security at the detention centre. However, the Parliamentary Ombudsman reiterated that the Aliens Act (2005:716) currently allows body searches of a detainee only under the prerequisites specified in Chapter 11, Section 9. Camera surveillance The Swedish Migration Agency must ensure that camera surveillance is only used when absolutely necessary Due to the fact that the segregation rooms in the detention centre in Ljungbyhed are constantly under camera surveillance, the Parliamentary Ombudsman emphasised, following the inspection, that the Parliamentary Ombudsman has previously stated that camera surveillance of a detainee in a cell or equivalent within the Prison and Probation Service is a particularly integrityinfringing measure. In order to reduce the risk of detainees being exposed to unnecessary integrity infringements, such a surveillance system should be able to be switched off when its use is not deemed necessary.10 The Parliamentary Ombudsman stated the basis and reasoning for this view can also be applied to, for example, a segregation room in a detention centre. For this reason, the Parliamentary Ombudsman called on the Swedish Migration Agency to take immediate measures to ensure that camera surveillance is not used in other cases than when it is deemed necessary. In cases where the Swedish Migration Agency determines that there is exists such a need, the Parliamentary Ombudsman reiterated that information concerning the use of surveillance must be provided through clear signage or some other effective way.11 Detainees’ access to health and medical care During the inspection of the detention centre in Ljungbyhed, it emerged that the nurse does not meet all the individuals admitted to the detention centre. Following the inspection, the Parliamentary Ombudsman referred to the fact that the Council of Europe’s Committee for the Prevention of Torture, the CPT, has recommended that Sweden takes measures that ensure that there is always a medical examination of detainees upon admission. The CPT has emphasised that it is important partly to detect the risk of self-harm and infectious diseases, and partly to document any physical injuries.12 It may also have been a relatively long time since a detainee last received a medical examination, and they may have lived under difficult conditions and without 9 See the Swedish Migration Agency ref. no. 1.1.2-2017-125520. 10 See the Parliamentary Ombudsmen’s report, ref. no. 750-2018. 11 See Section 15, first paragraph of the Camera Surveillance Act (2018:1200). 12 See CPT/Inf [2016] 1, para. 39.
