- the reluctance in accepting psychological assistance (fear, ignorance, desire
for privacy); the absence of procedures on psychological assistance in the case of
asylum applicants and the need to harmonize them with other procedures already
existing at the level of the Psycho-Sociology Centre of the Ministry of Internal
Affairs; establishing the route of documents between specialists (psychologists physicians) and the management of the centre, other external services; the use by IGI

►regarding the defence of the rights of migrants, we take note of the
situations found in the Retention and Triage Centres of Sculeni and Bors, where the
required metal rods were mounted in walls in triage rooms, based on the information
provided by staff, in order to immobilize with handcuffs violent persons or persons
known as dangerous.
For instance, at the Sculeni Retention and Triage Centre, the visit team found
that this safety measure is excessive and disproportional, where immobilization
was made with handcuffs on the one hand, and the triage room had video
surveillance on the other hand. Moreover, the use of the metal rod for the
immobilization with handcuffs applied in the presence of other persons and in
improper accommodation conditions, where natural lighting and ventilation were not
enough, represents an infringement of human dignity. The People’s Advocate
