20 years of combating torture: CPT General Report 2008-2009
73. Living conditions were generally good in the section of the Shtime/Stimlje “Special
Institute” accommodating persons with mental disabilities. However, they were very poor
in the Integration Centre for Mental Health, and the Centre lacked the necessary funds
to ensure even the basic needs of patients (such as adequate clothing and shoes). The CPT
has also expressed serious concern about the fact that patients in the forensic psychiatric
unit in Prishtinë/Priština were being confined, often for months on end, in a state of total
idleness.
74. In a substantial response addressing all the issues raised by the CPT, UNMIK
provides detailed information on the concrete measures being taken to improve the
situation in the above-mentioned establishments.
