Authorities terminated cooperation agreements with the HHC

Authorities terminated cooperation agreements with the Hungarian Helsinki Committee and denied access to police detention, prisons and immigration detention after two decades of cooperation and 2000+ visits. The HHC can no longer monitor human rights in closed institutions, even though NGOs’ access to police, prison and immigration detention reduces the risk of torture and ill-treatment and contributes to improving detention conditions.

A summary background material on the former cooperation agreements of the HHC is available here.

No oversight=more abuse.
