The aim of the visit was to examine the treatment of residents of Psycho-neurological Institutions (“Internats”) and, in this context, to assess the progress made as regards the implementation of previous CPT’s recommendations. For this purpose, the CPT's delegation visited the “Internat” in Viktorivka (Cherkasy Region) and two “Internats” in Odesa Region, in Velykorybalske and Baraboi.
The main conclusions of the CPT are set out in the executive summary of the report.
The CPT’s report has been made public under an automatic publication procedure introduced by the Ukrainian authorities in 2014.
