Several asylum seekers said that they had not been informed properly about the conditions of the repatriation flights. The NPM recommends that all asylum seekers with a negative asylum decision should be informed in written and in a language they understand. The commission further recommends that the prison doctor should have a veto on the flight if the repatriation poses a considerable health risk for the asylum seeker.
The Swiss NPM has been established under the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture which aims at the prevention of torture, and other cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment.
