Follow-up
As a result of Olsi Kaçiu's case and others, the government introduced legal changes as well as practical and awareness-raising measures. These were all designed to prevent ill-treatment of detainees and the use of evidence obtained as a result.
The reforms included a change to the Criminal Code of Procedure in 2013 to establish the right to access a lawyer when first detained in police custody; a 2014 amendment to the law on the rights of remand prisoners, to introduce clear rules about their treatment; and a new Code of Ethics for prison officers in 2015.
