PS Trbovlje has two rooms for shorter detention of two people. PS Trebnje has two rooms for shorter detention of one person. PS Tržič has two rooms for shorter detention of one person. PS Vrhnika has one room for shorter detention of one person. Review of recommendations and responses Equipment and suitability of premises We again proposed that PS Bled examine the possibility of renovating or reusing the detention rooms within the framework of renovation works and in accordance with the MNZ’s plan for arranging the detention rooms in the 2010–2015 period. The MNZ replied that the renovation of detention rooms at this PS was not anticipated at the time. When visiting PS Brežice, we established that the water tap in detention rooms 1 and 2 was not fixed properly and pressure in the tap in room 3 was so strong that water was sprayed all over the detention room. We thus proposed the suitable installation of the taps and elimination of the problem with water being wasted. The installation and functioning of taps in all detention rooms should be monitored regularly. The MNZ replied that water taps in detention rooms 1 and 2 had been installed, and the deficiency of wasting water in detention room 3 had been eliminated. Furthermore, we found a decision on detaining a person of 8 April 2016 in detention room 5 at PS Brežice. We proposed that police officers responsible at the police station for examining detention rooms be informed that the examination must be implemented more thoroughly, and they must immediately remove any documents with the personal data of detained persons, since these are protected according to the Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP-1). The MNZ replied that the police officers from the relevant PS immediately removed the relevant decision from detention room 5. Finally, we proposed that PS Brežice mark toilets on premises for processing aliens accordingly (for men and women). The MNZ replied that the PS had immediately marked the toilets at the premises for processing aliens by means of suitable stickers (gentlemen/ladies). We also discovered that the water taps in detention rooms 1 and 2 were not appropriately affixed at PS Celje; we thus proposed that the taps be affixed accordingly and that the PS regularly check the installation of water taps. The MNZ replied that the water taps in detention rooms 1 and 2 had been installed accordingly. We proposed that PS Celje remove one mattress from the room for shorter detention marked with the number 3, and examine the possibility of placing a wash basin in the relevant room.
