CAT/C/MKD/CO/3 signs of torture and ill-treatment, and should provide regular and compulsory training on the procedures established in the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the Istanbul Protocol) to police officers, asylum officers, judges, prosecutors, penitentiary guards, forensic doctors and personnel working at reception or detention centres, including training on detecting psychological traces of torture and on gender-sensitive approaches. The State party should regularly evaluate the training provided to its lawenforcement officials regarding the prevention of torture and ill-treatment, as well as ensure regular and independent monitoring of their conduct. Health care in places of deprivation of liberty 22. While welcoming the State party’s efforts to improve conditions, the Committee is concerned by the persistence of poor health-care services in places of deprivation of liberty. The Committee is further concerned at the lack of adequate health care in Idrizovo and Skopje prisons (arts. 10 and 13). The State party should: (a) Ensure that every newly arrived detainee is afforded the right to be examined by an independent doctor; (b) Improve access to health care, ensure full access to mental health-care services in all prison facilities and increase the professional and recreational activities of persons in detention; (c) Increase the number of health-care staff, facilities and equipment, including qualified nurses at Idrizovo and Skopje prisons. Redress, compensation and rehabilitation of victims 23. While noting that the Law on Criminal Procedure provides for redress, the Committee regrets that there was no information provided in response to its request in the list of issues prior to reporting for detailed information on the measures taken to ensure and guarantee that victims of torture or ill-treatment have the right to obtain redress and fair and adequate compensation. 24. Bearing in mind its previous concluding observations (see CAT/C/MKD/CO/2, para. 17), the Committee is concerned that the State party reports that it has not yet implemented any specific programme dedicated to the rehabilitation of victims of torture. The State party should: (a) Provide the Committee with detailed information on the number of requests filed, existing assistance in relation to filing requests, the number of requests that have been granted and what kind of redress has been ordered or provided, including means for the fullest possible rehabilitation, as requested in the list of issues prior to reporting; (b) Establish measures necessary to ensure that all victims of torture obtain redress, including medical and psychological assistance, compensation and the means for full rehabilitation, as outlined in general comment No. 3 (2012) on the implementation of article 14 by States parties; (c) Establish comprehensive programmes for the treatment rehabilitation, both physical and mental, of victims of torture and ill-treatment. 10 and
