- 25 e. information on rights 46. Information sheets setting out the rights of detained persons were available in a range of languages in all of the establishments visited; the content of those sheets is quite satisfactory. Further, they had a cut-off portion, which detainees were required to sign acknowledging that they had been informed of their rights. Nevertheless, certain detained persons claimed that they had only received information on their rights when they had been asked to give a formal statement to the police ("apologia"), and others stated that they had been given no information in writing while in custody. The Greek authorities have issued instructions on several occasions concerning the distribution of information sheets (cf. CPT/Inf (2001) 19, pages 62 and 81); they are invited to remind law enforcement officials once again that the sheet informing detained persons of their rights should be given systematically to all such persons at the very outset of custody. f. conduct of interrogations 47. The CPT has noted that the draft police ethics manual (cf. CPT/Inf (2001) 19, page 82) contains references to the conduct which police officers are expected to observe, in particular as regards respect for human dignity. This manual will apparently remind police officers of certain rules set out in relevant laws concerning the treatment of detained persons and the conduct of interrogations. However, as indicated following the 1997 visit (cf. CPT/Inf (2001) 18, Part I, paragraph 93), such a manual cannot be considered a substitute for a detailed code of conduct for interrogations of the type recommended by the CPT. The CPT recommends that the Greek authorities give further consideration to the manner in which they will implement the Committee’s recommendation on this subject. g. custody records 48. The information concerning persons in custody which was recorded in the registers kept in the law enforcement agency establishments visited was superficial and, very frequently, incomplete or inexact. For example, there was often no record of the time at which a person had left custody or the recorded time/date of release preceded that of arrest. Further, many aspects of a person's custody were not systematically recorded.
