In the 2021 report of the National Preventive Mechanism, we review the human rights situation in the places of detention, deprivation and restriction of liberty as well as relevant state policies and legislation. The report provides information on monitoring visits conducted and findings made by the Special Preventive Group throughout the year. It also assesses the compliance of the public agencies with the obligations under the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and compliance with recommendations made in previous years.
