It is worth noting that the aim of offering maximum transparency and outlining the work of the Ombudsman has been implemented via the institution’s webpage under the heading Prevención de la Tortura (Prevention of Torture), where information can be found about the facilities and places visited and the observations made. In February this year (2016) a preview of this report was presented to the Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (SPT) of the United Nations in Geneva, informing this body that the number of visits carried out throughout 2016 would be increased, and showing all the information contained on the website about the visits made and decisions taken as a result.
