Guard algorithm - no comprehensive actions were taken in relation to
the presumption that he had experienced violence, which constitutes
a counter-indication to being placed in the Centre, not all data from
available sources was analyzed and no conclusions were drawn from
the data that was gathered. All actions were taken in huge intervals of
time, which delayed the identification and implementation of adequate
measures; the foreigner was kept in the Centre despite the risk to his life
or health, which was confirmed in the doctor’s certificate.
b) A foreigner from a country that has been plagued by an armed conflict for many years, where torture and violence directed at civilians is
common, resided in the establishment for 5 months and 15 days and was
in the end released on the grounds of reasonable presumption of being
a violence victim. During his stay in the CDC the foreigner failed to be
qualified by the Educational Section to the sensitive group and the psychological and psychiatric identification took place only after more than
4 months since placement in the centre, despite numerous psychological consultations and three psychiatric examinations as well as reported
symptoms indicative of past violence experience alongside with systematic deterioration of the foreigner’s mental state.
c) A foreigner whose native language is Urdu - was qualified by his social counsellor to the special treatment group and subjected to video surveillance. Despite the fact that the video surveillance footage clearly indicated possible past violence experience and the psychiatrist diagnosed
post-traumatic stress disorder alongside with adaptation and anxiety
disorders, no steps were taken to release the foreigner from the Centre.
The foreigner was kept in detention for the whole period designated by
the court, until he returned to the country of origin.
