We proposed to PS Ormož that the room for receiving detainees be equipped also with a list of ex officio lawyers. The MNZ replied that the list of ex officio lawyers would not be printed at police stations, since it was available to all police officers on the website of the Bar Association of Slovenia, and that the relevant list is a tool for police officers and is not intended for detainees. Paragraph four of Article 4 of the Criminal Procedure Act (ZKP) stipulates that upon request of the suspect who has been deprived of freedom and does not have the means to retain a lawyer by himself, the police shall appoint a lawyer for him at the expense of the state if this is in the interests of justice. If the police officers appoint a lawyer for the suspect as per paragraph four of Article 4 of the ZKP, they do so on the basis of the list of lawyers published on the website of the Bar Association of Slovenia. Therefore, according to the MNZ, printing this list would be uneconomical. We proposed that PS Slovenske Konjice update the list of lawyers. The MNZ replied that the list of lawyers had been updated immediately after our visit. We proposed to PS Škofja Loka that detainees should be enabled to speak to their lawyer in another, more suitable room (perhaps in the interview room) in future. The MNZ replied that for security reasons conversations between detainees and their lawyers would be further implemented in the room marked Govorilnica. We proposed to PS Tolmin that the printed list of lawyers be displayed in the hallway leading to the two detention rooms where detainees are received. The MNZ responded that the list of lawyers had been relocated to the hallway leading to the two detention rooms. Furthermore, we proposed to PS Tolmin that the list of ex officio lawyers always be updated when printed and displayed in the hallway in front of the two detention rooms. The MNZ replied that the police station had been informed that the list of ex officio lawyers was available electronically and they should act economically when printing the list. We proposed that PS Trebnje update the list of lawyers. The MNZ replied that the list of lawyers had been updated immediately after our visit. We also proposed that PS Tržič update the list of lawyers. The MNZ replied that the list of lawyers had been updated immediately after our visit. Informing detainees on their rights and how to exercise them When visiting PS Bled, we determined that the box for anonymously submitting complaints and commendations was not marked suitably, since it was labelled ‘Applications’; we thus proposed that the collection box be marked accordingly as ‘Collection box for anonymous complaints and commendations’, and that an English translation also be added, since the PS is located in a tourist town. The MNZ replied that a collection box for complaints and commendation had been provided with a text in Slovenian and English. 126 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE NPM IN 2016 NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM UNDER THE OPTIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE UN CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE AND OTHER CRUEL, INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT
