1.2. Unrestricted Access of the Advocate 1.2.1. The right of an arrested person to meet, privately and without restriction, an advocate or defender who has come to visit such person for the purpose of undertaking his defense shall be safeguarded without any limitation of the number or duration of visits, or due to working days or hours. 1.2.2. The requirement to present a letter of engagement to the PHAP shall be presented to a defender, but not an advocate who has come for the purpose of undertaking the defense, because such advocate objectively does not have the possibility of presenting the documents required by law for the organization of a visit. 1.3. Contacts with the Outside World 1.3.1. The visit of a person held in a PHAP with his family members shall be conducted without physical separation. A visit granted with a partition shall be the exception, used only when there is a security threat. The PHAP administration shall assess the individual risk level of the person deprived of liberty.  Communication via a telephone or holes on a glass partition may result in a violation of the right to respect for private life safeguarded by Article 8 of the ECHR. 1.3.2. 1.3.3. The right of a person deprived of liberty to contact with the outside world shall be safeguarded irrespective of the duration of deprivation of liberty, except for cases of reasonable and justified necessity of restricting the exercise of the right to contact with the outside world. Sufficient light shall be secured in the visitation rooms. The rooms shall be in a proper condition. 12
