CoE anti-torture committee delegation in Serbia


A delegation of the Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) presented its preliminary findings to the Serbian authorities following an ad hoc visit to Serbia from 14 to 22 November 2024, a CoE press release said.
The preliminary findings were presented to the Serbian authorities after the delegation visited 2 prison facilities and 3 psychiatric hospitals.
“The visit focused on the treatment of adult and juvenile patients deprived of their liberty in forensic and acute wards of several psychiatric facilities across Serbia. The CPT delegation also examined the treatment and conditions of children and young persons held in the Juvenile Educational-Correctional Facility of Krusevac, about which the CPT had been highly critical in 2023,” the press release said.
It added that the CPT delegation reviewed the measures taken by the Serbian authorities to implement the recommendations made by the Committee after its previous visits in 2021 and 2023.
The delegation also met with Health and Justice Ministry officials as well as with the Ombudsman.
