detained in the detention centre (in different detention
facilities) at the same time.
Several of the files inspected did not contain all the documents
that should be delivered and signed by detainees at the start
of detention, while Detainee Interviewing Forms were
incomplete.
It
was
also
found
that
pharmaceutical
treatments
are
administered to detainees by members of the Police and that in
the said detention centre people with disabilities had been
deprived of their freedom. Nevertheless, no measures have
been taken to ensure the accessibility of people with disabilities
and no other reasonable adjustments were made to prevent
inequality between detainees with disabilities and detainees
without disabilities.
Based on the information revealed during the inspection, the
Commissioner concluded that the Detention Centre of the
Oroklini Police Station was not suitable for the detention of
people who are deprived of their liberty beyond 24 hours, as
the conditions of detention, mainly the lack of an outdoor
exercise area, were incompatible with the relevant legislation
and the international principles for the treatment of detainees
and constitute a degrading treatment and violation of the basic
rights of detainees.
The Commissioner submitted a recommendation to the Ministry
of Justice and Public Order, as the competent authority, to reexamine the operation of the said detention centre and
determine the maximum duration of detention based on the
conditions of the place. If the use of the said facility is deemed
necessary beyond 24 hours, the Commissioner noted that
measures should be taken to address the deficiencies identified
and to improve the conditions of detention and treatment of
