România: Trei decenii de restanțe în aresturi și închisori

A recent report by the Council of Europe highlights ongoing issues in Romanian detention facilities, including overcrowding, inadequate conditions, and insufficient medical care. Despite ratifying the European Convention against Torture in 1994, Romania has failed to address repeated concerns raised by the Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT). Detainees often face long periods in poor conditions, with limited access to outdoor time and inadequate food. The report also notes credible allegations of violence and pressure during interrogations. The Romanian government has promised to increase prison capacity, but CPT emphasizes the need for alternative measures to incarceration and better oversight of law enforcement.
