11.3. Police detention doctor ’s to have the necessary medications prescribed, he could not leave his home because of the house arrest. So, instead of the detainee, his sibling went to the pharmacy. Without a prescription, the required medications were issued on the basis of the hospital’s certificate, at full price. The fact that the detainee could not leave his home even for a medical examination caused an impropriety related to the detainee’s right to physical health. In accordance with the Act on Criminal Proceedings, in the event of a house arrest, the defendant may only leave the dwelling designated by the court and the enclosed area attached to it for the reason, at the time and within the distance specified in the court decision, thus especially, for the purpose of complying with everyday basic necessities or medical treatment. Pursuant to this provision, depending on the court decision, the detainee may leave the site for shopping, medical treatment or other reasons. Since, pursuant to Section 18, Subsection (3), Paragraph e) of the Ombudsman Act, I may not inquire into the courts’ actions, I could not make any recommendation in order to remedy the aforementioned situation. 11.4.
