Korintho as well as Orestiada for the detention conditions and the treatment of the detainees (as mentioned in questions raised by a political party in the Greek Parliament, see, <http://www.hellenicparliament.gr/Koinovouleftikos-Elenchos/Mesa-KoinovouleutikouElegxou?pcm_id=6dd63c78-c572-45c7-b1df-d4bc31b01b43>, http://www.hellenicparliament.gr/Koinovouleftikos-Elenchos/Mesa-KoinovouleutikouElegxou?pcm_id=8c6c30f7-3d82-440c-a9b1-abcff8fc6708>, <http://www.syn.gr/gr/keimeno.php?id=28905>) There is evidence that still detention conditions in Greece may amount to inhuman and degrading treatment. The inhuman and degrading treatment concerns not only the lack of space and the conditions concerning the facilities of the detention centres (hygiene, malnutrition etc) but also how the authorities treat the detainees (lack of information, unwilling to accept asylum applications, violence). Since May 2012 there has been no improvement of the detention centres for both aspects. Overcrowding still constitutes a major problem in this respect (GCR reports – field missions). Despite the thirty new detention centres that were announced by the Greek government only five (5) of them have been opened (GCR‟s last reports –field missions). Asylum seekers are still detained in the premises of Athens Airport Centre and the detention conditions have not been improved since May 2012: they are severely overcrowded, the detained persons are not offered any outdoor exercise and complain that they are not let out of the cells upon when they request to clean themselves or go to the toilet. As far as Greek Council for Refugees knows, there is no training of detention staff carried out by the Greek government or other parties. Under Article 31 of Law 3907/2011 on detention conditions, the right to communicate with families and legal representatives, the right to be systematically provided with information, and the right of NGOs to visit detention facilities are guaranteed. Since May 2012, this legislation has not been effectively put into practice. Yet, Law 3907/2011 provides for an automatic review of the detention order every three months by the institution that issued the detention order. However, it does not expressly provide for the review of conditions of detention. There is not any remedy in place to challenge conditions of detention independently and the Greek government has not taken any steps in this respect. It is almost impossible to present an asylum application from detention as there is no provision for legal aid. Most of the times an application can be issued after the intervention of an NGO or a lawyer. The examination of the application of asylum is also problematic as there is no prior notification of the applicant. This constitutes a breach of his/her rights for a legal representation before the authorities. In some cases we have witnessed that examinations of applications (interviews) were held, lacking competent interpretation, by another detainee. Concerning access to legal advice from detention, detainees do not have access to legal advice from detention. They can be informed on their right to contact a lawyer (freelancer or NGO) most of the times by social workers or doctors inside whose presence inside some
