The respondent is 28 years old and from Iran. He was arrested in Athens because he had an expired asylum seekers card which he was unable to renew due to the Covid-19 closure of the asylum offices. He was subsequently taken to Tavros (Petrou Ralli) PRDC where he was detained for 5 months, before being transferred to Paranesti PRDC. While he was in Tavros (Petrou Ralli), he applied again for asylum, but was rejected. Due to a lack of information and lawyer, he did not know that he was rejected and could not appeal. He shared a room with 14 people in Paranesti, and reported no issues of conflict between detainees. The respondent reported racist abuse and poor treatment from the police in Paranesti. If detainees argue with detention authorities, they are reportedly sent to another room and physically beaten, before being sent back to their own room. Food is usually served once a day and there is only one doctor available for medical care. He reported that detainees have to wait 2-3 months to get an appointment. The respondent described a situation that he witnessed in Paranesti when a fellow detainee who had cancer needed medical support, and was released but not taken to hospital for treatment.
