given a copy of the respective information sheet in a language that they understood. However, some people interviewed by the delegation alleged that they had not been informed of their rights (or at least not of all of their rights). The CPT trusts that the Slovenian authorities remain vigilant to ensure that all people taken into police custody are fully informed, from the very outset of their deprivation of liberty, of all their rights. g) Keeping documents For every detention, police officers must complete official forms which are required for the implementation of detention, i.e. the Decision on Arrest and Detention, Decision on Detention, Implementation of Activities during Detention – official note, and Receipt for Seized Items for the detainee. The forms must correctly and in detail record all activities which were implemented with the detained person (familiarisation with the rights of the person deprived of their liberty, notification of family members, lawyer, medical condition, etc.). During its visits to PS, the NPM also reviews individual randomly selected detentions. During our reviews of the documents, we established faults or deficiencies associated with these documents at the majority of the police stations visited. These were established in the completion of the forms, entering eventual corrections and data on an individual case in the FIO computer records (e.g. the time provided in the form and in FIO records differ). At some PS, it was even established that during the detention procedure police officers used old and thus invalid forms. Below are individual identified faults or deficiencies that were established at the individual police stations visited, and the response of the MI to our recommendations. Incomplete filling in of all columns was established and pointed out to Gornja Radgona PS, Lenart PS, Ruše PS, Cerknica PS, Ilirska Bistrica PS, Ljutomer PS, Sežana PS, Ajdovščina PS, Nova Gorica PS, Velenje PS, Rogaška Slatina PS, Piran PS, Grosuplje PS, Ribnica PS, Kočevje PS, Kozina PS, Koper PS, Izola PS, Gorišnica PS, and Ptuj PS. Incorrect entering of data in official forms was established at Gornja Radgona PS, Ruše PS, Postojna PS, Ilirska Bistrica PS, Murska Sobota PS, Sežana PS, Nova Gorica PS, Šmarje pri Jelšah PS, Piran PS, Grosuplje PS, Črnomelj PS, Ribnica PS, Kočevje PS, and Izola PS. Different times for individual activities or the start of the procedure, order of detention, and end of detention in various completed forms and the FIO computer records were established at Gornja Radgona PS, Postojna PS, Ilirska Bistrica PS, Ljutomer PS, Kočevje PS, Izola PS, and Ptuj PS. The use of old and invalid forms for the implementation of detention was established at Postojna PS, Ljutomer PS, Ajdovščina PS, and Nova Gorica PS. With regard to the established faults or deficiencies, the MI responded that for all cases the police officers (and especially those who made the mistake and later at working meetings of PS) were alerted to pay greater attention to the completion of forms (listing all activities that were implemented in the concrete case with regard to persons deprived of their liberty) and to properly enter corrections in the official forms which are required for the implementation of detention. With regard to the use of old and invalid forms, the MI responded that all police officers had been informed of the urgency of following the updating or replacement of forms which are required for the implementation of detention. In the general report of the Ombudsman for the year 2017, we emphasise a case where police documents showed that foreign nationals were informed of the rights of a detained person, including the right to notify family members; however while they did not request family members or other persons to be notified, they did not confirm this with their signature. The MI explained that this was not specifically foreseen in the existing forms. Obviously, the CPT also perceived problems in this area during its 2017 visit. At the end of the visit, the delegation suggested that the Slovenian authorities include the information as to whether the detainee has availed themselves of their rights or has waived them, in a document which is signed by the detainee. The communication by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia that the form in which police officers record information on the (non) enforcement of rights of detainees will be updated with the possibility of adding the detainee’s signature is encouraging. 70 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NPM IN 2017 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM UNDER THE OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE UN CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
