Council of Europe Anti-Torture Committee publishes
Czech response on follow-up given to
Committee's recommendations
Strasbourg, 14.04.2005 - In a follow-up
response published today with its agreement, the Czech Government provides
additional information concerning the implementation of recommendations of the
European Committee for the prevention of torture (CPT) after a visit to the
Czech Republic in April 2002. In its visit report,
the CPT focussed on the safeguards offered to persons detained by the police and
examined, for the first time in the Czech Republic, the conditions of stay in
holding facilities for foreigners, as well as the treatment of psychiatric
patients.
Building on its initial response, which covered the period 2003, the Czech
Government indicates the steps taken in the year 2004 to further implement the
CPT’s recommendations and highlights planned action for the future.
The CPT's visit report and the initial Czech response (published on 12 March
2004), as well as the follow-up report of the Czech authorities, are available
on the CPT's website http://www.cpt.coe.int
These documents are also available in Czech on the Government's website
