atment or Punishment (Opcat). We have also made special considerations regarding our other supervisory activities. This report compiles the Parliamentary Ombudsmen’s most important observations and statements in connection with the investigations carried out. My hope is that this report will be able to provide an overview of the handling of the very special conditions that prevailed in the spring and early summer of 2020 by the agencies investigated. I also hope that the experiences detailed in the report will contribute to an increased knowledge of the various factors which need to be taken into account in order for the measures against the spread of infection taken by public agencies where people are deprived of their liberty to be both effective and proportionate as well as consistent with the rule of law.
