In this context, particular attention was paid to the situation of persons in police custody and remand prisoners held in police and prison establishments. For the first time in the country, the CPT also visited an educational institution for juveniles.

The findings and conclusions of the CPT are set out in the executive summary of the report.

In their response, the Estonian authorities provide information on the measures taken to implement the recommendations made in the CPT’s report.
