Details

In September 2019 the UN’s Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (SPT) visited the UK. Their subsequent report, which the UK received in October 2020, provides recommendations for places of detention across the UK. The UK has responded to each recommendation and looks forward to continuing to interact with the SPT, including during a dialogue later this year.
