The respondent is 35 years old and is from Syria. He was apprehended when he approached Didymoteicho police station to claim asylum. He was held in the police station for 1-2 hours, before being taken to an outpost of another small police station in a village close by for two days, where the police took his details. He was not provided with any information and reported that the police were rude and violent. However, he was subsequently transferred to Fylakio RIC. In Fylakio, he was provided with a translator, and stayed in container rooms. He was provided with low quality food and felt he was treated as if he was not human, yet did not complain out of fear of being pushed back to Turkey. He reported that Fylakio was relatively empty, and other people being held there were from Kurdistan, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. He had his phone returned to him, so was able to contact his lawyer who supported him with the asylum procedure. Despite seeing an actor which he assumed was an NGO present, he reported that they only supported minors. The police were reportedly racist, although not violent in Fylakio
