50 Malcolm Evans and Mari Amos in the Office On September 7, 2015, two members of the Subcommittee on Prevention, Mr. Malcolm Evans and Ms. Mari Amos paid an informal visit to Hungary, during which they also visited my Office. During the meeting, also attended by my Deputy responsible for the protection of the rights of nationalities living in Hungary, the Secretary General of the Office and the staff of the Department, we discussed our experience gained since the NPM’s establishment and talked about possibilities for enforcing preventive approach, and the conditions of operation. During the second half of the meeting, the members of the CCB joined in: the participants discussed the possibilities of cooperation. In his letter of November 2015, Mr. Malcolm Evans gave a high praise to my OPCAT activities. Between September 28–30, 2015, the Head of the Department attended an international conference on pre-trial detention and the follow-up to OPCAT NPM reports, organized by the University of Bristol in London. The Department’s expert on migration was invited to a consultation, organized by the European Ombudsman in Madrid between October 13–15, 2015, focusing on mass migration and forced returns executed within the frameworks of Frontex. I received in my Office the representative of the CPT on October 21, and Mr. Nils Muižnieks, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, on October 26, 2015. Both discussions, attended by two staff members of the Department, focused on asylum and migration.
