The CPT organised 14 visits totalling 147 visit days during the twelve-month period covered by this General Report. Eleven of the visits (totalling 126 visit days) formed part of the CPT’s annual programme of periodic visits and the remaining three (21 days) were ad hoc visits which the Committee considered were required by the circumstances. In the course of one of the periodic visits, namely to Germany, the CPT’s delegation examined the treatment and conditions of detention of a prisoner convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (see also paragraphs 8 and 9). Details of all these visits (dates and places of deprivation of liberty visited) are provided in Appendix 7. 2. Once again, staff-related difficulties have hampered the CPT’s activities. In particular, several experienced administrators have left the Committee’s secretariat over the last year and it has been necessary to limit the number of ad hoc visits while new staff members are recruited and trained. However, the Committee is now engaged on a marked increase in its activities, with a total of nine visits, including four ad hoc, planned during the last four months of 2011. 3HULRGLFYLVLWV 3. The eleven periodic visits were carried out to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Moldova, Norway, Romania, Serbia, Spain and “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”. During each visit, the CPT’s delegation examined the situation in a wide range of places of deprivation of liberty, and reviewed action taken to implement the recommendations made by the Committee after previous visits. Particular attention was given in the course of certain visits to the treatment of juveniles deprived of their liberty (for example, in the Czech Republic, Norway, Romania and Serbia) and of involuntary psychiatric patients (in France, Moldova and “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”). The situation of persons held “incommunicado” was a prominent feature of the visit programme in Spain, as was the case of persons subject to preventive detention (Sicherungsverwahrung) during the visit to Germany. The treatment of persons with mental and/or physical disabilities was examined in several countries; facilities for such persons were visited in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Moldova and “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”.
