Poročilo Varuha človekovih pravic Republike Slovenije o izvajanju nalog državnega preventivnega mehanizma za leto 2011 Prostor za tujce Room for foreigners Večinoma so bili prostori primerno čisti in opremljeni, vključno s plakatom o pravicah pridržanih oseb v več jezikih, z brošuro o pravicah oseb, ki jim je bila odvzeta prostost, v več jezikih in raznimi zloženkami (UNHCR, PIC). Postajam, na katerih tega nismo zasledili (PP Koper), smo predlagali, da zagotovijo plakate in brošure. The rooms were mostly appropriately clean and equipped, including a poster and brochure in several languages on the rights of persons deprived of liberty, and various leaflets (UNHCR, PIC). We proposed that stations (PP Koper) where such things were not observed provide posters and brochures. Seznanjenost pridržanih oseb z njihovimi pravicami Information for detained persons on their rights Policija je pred leti izdala brošuro z obvestilom o pravicah osebe, ki ji je bila odvzeta prostost, v več jezikih in jih imajo v vseh PP. Na nekaterih PP pa žal niso na mestu, kjer bi bila najbolj potrebna (prostori in predprostori za pridržanje, prostori za tujce), in zato je minilo nekaj časa, da so policisti brošuro sploh našli. Tako smo jo na PP Koper pogrešali v prostoru za tujce in tudi predlagali, da jo zagotovijo čim prej. Podobno je bilo na PP Grosuplje. Some years ago, the Police issued a Letter of Rights of a Person Deprived of Liberty in several languages, which was found in every PP. Unfortunately, in some PPs, it is not in the place (detention rooms and lobbies, rooms for foreigners) where it is most useful, and it sometimes took some time for police officers to find the brochure. In PP Koper, we thought it was missing in the room for foreigners and proposed to provide it as soon as possible. A similar situation was found in PP Grosuplje. Seznanjenost s pravicami se zagotavlja tudi s plakati z obvestilom o prijetju zaradi odvzema prostosti, kar je pohvalno, vendar bi jih bilo treba v večini primerov zamenjati z novejšo različico, ker zdajšnja ne vsebuje pravice do zdravnika po lastni izbiri. Kot primer dobre prakse je PP Škofja Loka, ki je zadevo rešila z dodatnim pripisom pravice do proste izbire zdravnika na plakat. DPM je tako rešitev informiranja pridržanih oseb z odobravanjem sprejel in hkrati predlagal, da se to prenese tudi na druge PP. Prav tako bi bili lahko plakati nameščeni v prostorih, kjer se pridržane osebe zadržujejo največ časa. Če so samo na hodnikih, dvomimo, da se pridržanim omogoča, da se seznanijo z vsebino. Varuh človekovih pravic RS je kot izvajalec DPM v letu 2011 razposlal na vse PP tudi brošure in plakate o DPM. Na večini PP brošur nismo zasledili, izpostavljamo pa PP Gornjo Radgono, ki je imela brošure DPM v prostoru za pogovor s strankami in PP Grosuplje, ki je imela v sobi za pogovore nalepljen plakat o DPM. Dokumentacija Pregled dokumentacije je pokazal, da je ta večinoma skrbno urejena, smo pa klub temu opazili nekatere nedoslednosti, netočnosti in nepravilnosti pri izpolnjevanju podatkov v dokumentaciji: 26 Implementation of the Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2011 Information on rights is also provided by means of posters informing about arrest, which is commendable, but these should, in most cases, be replaced by a more recent version, since the old one does not include the right to a doctor of one’s own choice. PP Škofja Loka is a good practice example, as they resolved the issue by adding the notice on the right to a free choice of doctor to the poster. The DPM approved of such a method of informing detained persons and suggested that other PPs do likewise. Additionally, the posters could be placed in rooms where detained persons spend most time. If they are placed only in the corridors, we doubt that detained persons learn about the content. In the capacity of the DPM, the Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia sent brochures and posters on the DPM to all PPs in 2011. In the majority of PPs, they were not to be found, but we should highlight PP Gornja Radgona, which had DPM brochures in the room for interviews with clients, and PP Grosuplje, which had a poster on the DPM in the room for interviews. Documentation The inspection of documentation showed it to be carefully arranged; however, some inconsistencies, inaccuracies and irregularities were observed in the completion of data in the documentaion: • Na potrdilu o zaseženih predmetih ni podatka o uri zasega predmetov (PP Tolmin). • The receipt of confiscated items does not include the time of confiscation (PP Tolmin). • Na potrdilu o zaseženih predmetih je bilo ugotovljenih več nepravilnosti: potrdilo je oseba podpisala, kot opombo pa je policist napisal, da je pridržana oseba podpis odklonila brez razloga; na potrdilu ni bila zapisana ura vrnitve predmetov; v delu potrdila »zaključeno pod zaporedno številko« je številka 9, čeprav je bilo zaseženih 10 predmetov (kje?). • • Pri izpolnjevanju uradnega zaznamka o pridržanju je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bili podatki na obrazcu uradnega zaznamka o pridržanju popravljeni s »korektorjem«. Ker gre za uradni dokument, je DPM menil, da je taka praksa neprimerna. DPM je predlagal, da se v takšnih primerih morebitni popravki zapišejo tako, da bo viden prejšnji podatek. Podatek pa naj s podpisom potrdi policist, ki je podatek popravljal (PP Idrija). Podobno je bilo na PP Koper, kjer so bili na potrdilu o zaseženih predmetih opravljeni popravki brez podpisa policista, ki jih je popravil. Tudi tu je DPM predlagal, da se morebitni popravki označijo tako, da bo viden prejšnji podatek. Several irregularities were found on the receipt of confiscated items: the person signed the receipt, but the police officer recorded as a comment that the detained person refused to sign it without reason; the receipt did not include the time when the items were returned; in the part of the receipt under ‘completed under serial no.’, the number 9 was entered, although there were 10 confiscated items (where?). • It was established that when completing the official note on detention, the information in the official note form on detention had been corrected with correcting fluid. According to the DPM, this practice is inappropriate, since this is an official document. The DPM suggested that any corrections in such cases be recorded in such a way that the previous entry can be seen. The information should be confirmed by the signature of the police officer who made the correction (PP Idrija). A similar situation was observed in PP Koper, where the receipt on confiscated items included corrections, but lacked the signature of the police officer who had made them. The DPM also suggested that any corrections be recorded in such a way that the previous entry can be seen.
