  • Executive Summary
    CPT/Inf (2021) 8 - Part EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the course of the 2019 periodic visit, the CPT’s delegation reviewed the treatment and conditions of detention of remand and sentenced prisoners in the country’s main prison establishments. It also paid particular attention to juveniles sentenced to imprisonment or to an educational measure at Ohrid Prison. In addition, the delegation examined the situation of persons deprived of their liberty by the police. Further, it carried out follow-up visits to the psychiatric hospitals in Demir Hisar and Negorci, as well as to Demir Kapija Special Institution for Mentally Disabled Persons. The facilitation of the visit by the authorities of North Macedonia was excellent. However, due to their persistent failure to address numerous longstanding recommendations regarding the treatment and conditions of detention of persons held in penitentiary establishments, notably at Idrizovo Prison, the CPT decided, at its March 2020 plenary meeting, to re-open the procedure under Article 10, paragraph 2, of the Convention establishing the Committee. A list of areas requiring the authorities of North Macedonia to demonstrate, as a matter of priority, verifiable progress is set out paragraph 8 of this report. Police custody In the course of the 2019 visit, in contrast to the improvements observed in 2010 and 2014, the CPT’s delegation received many allegations of physical ill-treatment by police officers. The alleged ill- treatment consisted of slaps, punches, kicks and blows with truncheons or other objects, and occurred in the context of apprehension after a suspect had been brought under control or inside a police establishment for the purpose of extracting a confession.
