The respondent is a 37 year old from Syria. He was apprehended in Victoria Square in Athens, and was taken to a police station where his fingerprints and photos were taken. He was forced to sign papers which he did not understand, and stayed in the police station for 4 days before being taken to Amygdaleza PRDC. He was detained in Amygdaleza for 50 days, and was not provided with any information in a language that he could understand. He described the conditions as worse than for animals; the container room that he was staying in was approximately 3 square meters, split into two sides with 2-4 people on each who sleep on metal bunk beds. He described that one side of the container has air conditioning in summer, but the other side does not, causing tensions between detainees. No cleaning products were provided, and detainees have to wash clothes by hand with soap and water. Food is provided 3 times a day but was similarly described as worse than for animals. There is only cold water in the shower and due to there being no shower whatsoever in his container, he was forced to ask others to let him use theirs. He paid 400 Euros for a lawyer as no legal support was provided inside.
