Cooperation with the Police
The close and good working relationship with the Police
continued in the years 2018 and 2019. The National Preventive
Mechanism works closely with all Police Departments and, in
particular, with the Office of Human Rights, Police Stations and
with the Detention Centre for Prohibited Immigrants in Menoyia
to provide views and guidance on matters regarding the human
dignity of persons deprived of their liberty for criminal or
administrative reasons.
The Commissioner, as the NPM, was invited to express her
views on the building design of the new Police
Department of Morphou. In this context, the Commissioner
made some important notes on the building requirements to be
achieved in order to comply with the international standards for
the respect of the rights of detainees. Special reference was
also made to the need to ensure proper working conditions for
the members of the Police, as well as to the rights of people
with disabilities who might, in the future, be detained in the
said place.
On the basis of the notes made by the Commissioner, the Police
convened an extended meeting on 11 May 2018 to discuss the
recommendations and the practical measures to be taken for
their implementation with regard to the new building of the
Police Department of Morphou.
The Commissioner welcomed with great satisfaction the
measures that are already in place for the implementation of
her recommendations.
