Minister Ingrid Anticevic-Marinovic was informed about the
assessment by the head of the international Red Cross Mission, Yves
Petermann, who visited the ministry today along with the head of
Zagreb's Red Cross office, Martina Murgic.
Petermann informed the minister that Red Cross representatives
last year visited eight Croatian prisons 11 times and spoke to more
than 50 inmates serving sentences for war crimes.
The only criticism relates to confined space in a section of the
Lepoglava prison, the ministry said in its statement.
The ministry says that considering the good assessment, Red Cross's
involvement programme for Croatian prisons will be significantly
narrowed down in the coming period.
