are detained are closed during the night (starting at 22:00), so people do not have access to the toilet during the night, nor can they visit the prayer room to pray in the evening (problems have been identified especially during Ramadan). Food for detainees is delivered through the catering service. Foreigners from outside the CIS complain about its quality. Placed persons, who have the opportunity, buy their own dairy products, eggs, rice. Religious food preferences are not respected. Muslims complain that halal food is not served and they are forced to buy food on their own or remain hungry12. 5.4.1. The right to information Following the findings of the visiting team, the detainees are formally informed about the reasons for their placement at TPCF. The conclusion of the court by which they are placed in public custody are not translated and explained to them. Detainees are unaware of their rights, in particular the right to state-guaranteed legal aid and the right to challenge the actions of state authorities and the courts. 5.4.2. Access to healthcare Detainees have access to medical assistance, which is provided by the medical service of the Border Police Department. There is a medical office and medical isolator in the Centre, but there is no doctor or nurse employed. There were cases when people were provided with the necessary medical assistance only following a written address to the TPCF administration, the verbal addresses being previously ignored. It is important to note that the TPCF administration and employees do not know how to work with HIV-positive people, in July an HIV-positive person was isolated from other inmates in a room, had separate cutlery, and all employees and guards knew about his HIV status. 5.4.3. Psychological assistance to foreigners TPCF does not have a psychologist's office. An office was opened for the psychologist, on August 1, 2019, inside the GIBP at the medical service that serves the persons placed in the TPCF. The office is intended for GIBP employees and migrants in difficulty. In this regard, the TPCF administration was encouraged to refer distressed foreigners to the services of the GIBP psychologist. In reality, no person was referred to that service, and at the written request of one of the detainees, TPCF ignored the request. 12 Access http://ombudsman.md/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Raport-CPTS-06.12.18_DpT-1.pdf/ http://ombudsman.md/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Raport-anual-de-activitate-CpPT-2018_Romana.pdf 49
