Detention monitoring 2.1  Overview of monitoring activities During the past year, the NCPT carried out a total of 18 inspection visits to detention facilities. In relation to that, it also reviewed the implementation of the applicable provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, the Criminal Code, the Civil Code and the statutes on asylum and immigration. The Commission inspected one pre-trial detention facility, one correctional facility, two high-security units, five facilities for the administrative detention under Foreign Nationals Act, five Federal centres for the accommodation of asylum seekers, one forensic psychiatry clinic, and four adult and geriatric psychiatry clinics. In the follow-up to those inspection visits, it also conducted six feedback meetings, in order to personally inform the authorities about its findings. Furthermore, the Commission accompanied a total of 63 forced return flights and the transfer to the airport of 79 persons, from 18 cantons, whose repatriation had been ordered.1 All forced return flights accompanied by the Commission were level-4 repatriations.2 12 forced return flights were carried out under the Dublin Association Agreement.3 Seven of the forced return flights were carried out on group flights organised jointly with the EU. In five cases the Commission requested a written response from the authorities for explanations concerning the police interventions observed. The Commission’s observations will be summarised in a report and submitted to the Special Committee on Repatriation and Expulsion Enforcement for response. The transfer procedure includes the taking into custody and transport of one or more persons to the airport. 1 Art. 28, para. 1 of the Ordinance of 20 March 2008 on the Use of Police Control and Restraint Techniques and Police Measures under Federal Jurisdiction (Use of Force Ordinance, UFO) [Zwangsanwendungsverordnung, ZAV, SR 364.3]. 2 Agreement of 26 October 2004 between the Swiss Confederation and the European Community concerning the criteria and mechanisms for establishing the State responsible for examining a request for asylum lodged in a Member State or in Switzerland (with Final Act), SR 0.142.392.68.
