1. Introduction at medical examinations and interventions on detained persons as well as cuffing of persons during the transportation. By issuing a dispatch, director of the police ordered, in case of detention of citizens based on the Law on Road Traffic Safety, when premises are occupiled, the citizens are to be detained in other official premises with constant supervision by police officials. Apparently, this solution was forced, but it is unacceptable, so it should not become permanent5. Internal control department improved its operation by delivering to the Protector of Citizens during the reporting period monthly reports on the cases in which it was determined that rights were violated by police abuse of power, as well as the data on filed criminal and the misdemeanor charges it submitted, the identified omissions in work and proposed measures.6 Execution of the measure of custody and prison sentence During the reporting period NPM continued the visits to institutions for the enforcement of penal sanctions. The relation of good cooperation has been kept with the bodies, which enabled complete accomplishment of the NPM mandate in terms of the control of legality and regularity of the treatment of persons deprived of their liberty, improvement of the respect of their rights as well as the prevention of torture or any other form of abuse. Just like in the previous period, during 2017 the prison administration continued with activities upon recommendations received from NPM. What encourages is the fact that in recent few years among prison officials and their superiors, the awarenes that torture is not allowed act has prevailed. However, even tought the persons deprived of their liberty mostly mention fair behaviour of the members of the Security Service towards them, it is noticeable that many of them express dissatisfaction with the doctor’s treatment and provided health protection as well as the work of educator with regards to the failure to realize necessary activities. Complaints of persons in custody, like in previous reporting periods, referred mostly to the duration of detention, violation of the right to trial within a reasonable deadline and violation of the right to fair trial7. Working premises are not equipped and do not meet the conditions for the staying of detained persons, staying of persons in these premises is the burden for the work of police officials and has a negative effect to the performance of police tasks, and the staying in working premises of citizens in the condition of severe, very severe or complete intoxication and/or the influence of psychoactive substances creates an increased risk of incidents. 6 In that manner it has fulfilled the legal obligation prescribed by Article 227 Paragraph 4 of the Law on Police. 7 Taking into account that the Protector of Citizens is not authorized to control the legality and regularity of the court functioning, the complainants were advised to address competent bodies in these cases. 5 11
