List of domestic places of detention
Pursuant to Article 20, Paragraph a) of the OPCAT, in order to enable the
National Preventive Mechanism to fulfil its mandate, the States Parties to the
present Protocol shall undertake to grant it access to “all information concerning the number of persons deprived of their liberty in places of detention as defined in
article 4, as well as the number of places and their location.”
Based on the data provided by the Government, by the middle of November 2014, my colleagues had compiled the list of places of detention as
defined in Article 4 of the OPCAT.

I sent letters to the heads of the governmental organs concerned requesting them to provide me, as at December 31, 2016, with all data on places of
detention as defined in Article 4 of the OPCAT.58
