CAT/C/CYP/CO/5 imposed on the perpetrators of the torture, ill-treatment or negligence that caused the death or the injuries. Training 36. While welcoming the training modules that have been offered to police, security and immigration personnel, the Committee urges the State party to develop modules based on the provisions of the Convention and the Istanbul Protocol and on non-coercive investigation techniques and integrate those modules in the periodic and compulsory training programmes for all law enforcement officials, judges, prosecutors and prison and immigration officers and others. 37. The State party should: (a) Give clear instructions on the absolute prohibition of torture and illtreatment to all agents and personnel working in places of detention; (b) Develop modules on the provisions of the Convention and integrate them in the periodic and compulsory training programmes for all law enforcement officials, judges, prosecutors and prison and immigration officers and others; (c) Provide regular training on the Istanbul Protocol, emphasizing that torture and ill-treatment often have racist motives, to forensic doctors, medical personnel and other officials involved in dealing with detainees and asylum seekers in the investigation and documentation of cases of torture, and continue to regularly carry out training on non-coercive investigative techniques; (d) Develop and apply a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of educational and training programmes relating to the Convention and the Istanbul Protocol; (e) Develop a national strategy to ensure that different ethnic and national minorities are better represented at all levels in law enforcement, in particular the police. Psychiatric facilities 38. The Committee welcomes: section 10 (1) (g) of the psychiatric care law of 1997, which allows courts to hear the patient or their representative, along with a psychiatrist, before the issuance of any court order for involuntary psychiatric placement; the establishment of the new supportive living homes, which offer support for persons with severe psychosocial disabilities; and the fact that involuntary detention of persons with severe psychiatric disabilities is contingent on an order by a judge. The Committee is concerned, however, at reports about the detention of persons with psychological or psychosocial disabilities with elderly detainees and about the use of chemical and physical restraints. While welcoming the renovations to the Athalassa psychiatric hospital, including the addition of four wings to reduce the crowded conditions, the Committee is concerned that the new law on the management of psychiatric hospitals, which is prima facie undergoing legal vetting, has still not been passed and implemented (arts. 2, 11, 13 and 16). 39. The State party should: (a) Compile annual data on therapeutic, occupational and rehabilitative treatments offered at the Athalassa psychiatric hospital as a safeguard against torture and ill-treatment; (b) Ensure that laws are in place to regulate psychiatric facilities as regards their use of physical, mechanical and chemical restraints and isolated psychiatric care, collect data on the use of such measures, and update the Committee on any plans to create a central register on the use of restraint measures; (c) Ensure that persons with psychosocial disabilities are not detained with other individuals, such as the elderly, to protect individuals from situations in which the former may cause harm to others or themselves; 10
