The State party should ensure that adequate compensation is provided to victims of torture and other ill-treatment and that the means for as full rehabilitation as possible are also made available to all victims of torture and other ill-treatment, trafficking, and domestic and sexual violence. Overcrowding and conditions of detention (19) While welcoming the decrease in the prison population from approximately 4,800 detainees in 2001 to 3,600 in 2007, due to the introduction of various forms of expedited proceedings, which have ranged to 42 per cent of all criminal proceedings, and to alternative mechanisms of detention, the Committee remains concerned about the overall conditions of detention in the State party, including with regard to adequate HIV medical care (art. 16). The State party should continue to alleviate the overcrowding of the penitentiary institutions and improve conditions of detention, especially in arrest houses where pretrial detainees are held for long periods in poor and inadequate conditions and should also continue its efforts to reduce the pretrial detention period. The State party should provide adequate food to all detainees and improve the health and medical services in detention facilities, including by making available appropriate treatments, especially to HIV and tuberculosis infected detainees. Trafficking in persons (20) While welcoming awareness-raising and prevention campaigns and programmes (including the EQUAL EU cooperation project) as well as the National Plan of Action on trafficking in human beings, the Committee remains concerned about this persistent phenomenon and the absence of specific legislative measures to prevent, combat and punish human trafficking (art. 16). The State party should reinforce its legislation and adopt other effective measures in order to adequately prevent, combat and punish human trafficking, especially that of women and children, and should promptly investigate, prosecute and punish all perpetrators of such crimes. The State party should provide the Committee with statistical data on the incidence of trafficking as well as the objectives and results of the implemented measures, including investigations, prosecutions and convictions. The State party should also adopt specific training and sensitization programmes for law enforcement personnel on human trafficking. Domestic violence (21) While noting the existence of several programmes and plans aimed at combating domestic violence, the Committee remains concerned about the incidence of such violence and the absence of specific legal measures to prevent and combat it (art. 16). The State party should adopt a specific type of criminal offence for domestic violence, and provide protection for victims and their access to medical and legal services, including counselling services. The State party should also promptly investigate, prosecute and punish all perpetrators of such violence and ensure adequate training to sensitize law enforcement personnel on domestic violence, including sexual violence and violence against children. Stateless persons (22) The Committee notes the concerns and recommendations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Human Rights Committee and the Committee on the Rights of the Child.
