"The actions described were intended to affect the mental state of the incarcerated individuals" - in court proceedings at Vendin-le-Vieil.
In a recent development, Gabriel O., a monitored detainee from Marseille, is scheduled to be transferred to Vendin-le-Vieil prison, a facility located in Pas-de-Calais. This transfer has sparked a wave of concerns from the detainee's lawyers, who argue that it represents a significant regression in the detainees' rights and conditions.
The lawyers' objections are not isolated incidents. They form part of a broader concern over the forced relocation of detainees, particularly those housed in the QLCO wing, a prison for new-generation drug traffickers.
During a liberty referral hearing held at the administrative tribunal of Versailles (Yvelines) on Monday, September 8, Gabriel O. himself demonstrated the concerns by turning off the light in his cell, an action described as polite. The hearing was a contest to his transfer from Fleury-Mรฉrogis prison to the new highly secure wing of Vendin-le-Vieil prison.
The lawyers' concerns are centred around the conditions at Vendin-le-Vieil. For instance, the cell where Gabriel O. was located had a window on the side, but it was plunged into darkness when the light was turned off. This, the lawyers argue, could potentially infringe upon the detainees' rights and well-being.
The transfer of detainees from the QLCO wing to Vendin-le-Vieil is currently ongoing, with approximately thirty detainees, including Gabriel O., having initiated a procedure against their detention conditions and forced relocation to Vendin-le-Vieil. The lawyers representing these clients have denounced the transfer as a "real regression".
It is worth noting that the search results do not contain the name of the judge who attended the hearing at the administrative court of Versailles on Monday, September 8, regarding Gabriel O.'s case.
As the transfer and proceedings continue, the spotlight remains on Vendin-le-Vieil prison, with the hope that the concerns raised by the detainees' lawyers will be addressed to ensure the rights and well-being of all detainees are protected.
