The respondent is a man who reported being apprehended in Nigrita. He was reportedly apprehended due to being undocumented and was taken to a facility where he was detained for twenty days. According to the information given by the respondent, this facility is located close to the Bulgarian border, in the village of Promachonas and could be an informal police detention facility. After spending twenty days in Promachonas, the respondent was eventually transferred to the Paranesti Pre-Removal Detention Center (PRDC) for a further detention period of 6 weeks. When apprehended, the respondent was reportedly told that he was under arrest due to being undocumented (“They said to me that because you don’t have ID, you entered the country in an illegal way and you are getting arrested”). Upon arrival in the informal police detention facility in Promachonas, the respondent was reportedly taken to a small and overcrowded cell. (“At most we were eight to ten people. In one room which is about one meter (wide) and five meter long”). The respondent reported that he could not see any natural light from his cell and that the beds were made of cement without mattresses. Furthermore, he described the cell as being very cold, with a lot of humidity and no heating. Detainees were reportedly provided with only one blanket, which was insufficient for protection against the cold, and requests for additional blankets were granted inconsistently (“it’s according to the police officer”). Moreover, the respondent recalled having access to hot water for only half an hour per day and he reportedly had to share one toilet with the other people in the room (“we have two but one is out of work”). Additionally, the respondent’s phone was reportedly confiscated in the informal police facility for the whole twenty days he spent in detention (“they don’t want us to take photos, videos”).During his detention in this facility, the respondent was reportedly given five euros and eighty cents per day to order food from a menu, which would barely cover the cost of one meal (“One sandwich, 3 euros and one juice for 2 euros. If you want to buy food you can take just one meal”). Moreover, the respondent was reportedly asked to sign various documents without any translation available on several occasions. He recalled that several other detainees were reportedly asked to sign documents without being able to understand any Greek or English and without having access to translators. During his detention in the Promachonas informal detention facility, the respondent reportedly told the authorities that he did not want to apply for asylum and asked about voluntary return. He was reportedly told that he will be able to apply for voluntary return when transferred to the Paranesti PRDC. After being detained for twenty days in the informal police detention facility, the respondent was transferred to Paranesti PRDC. He described the general living conditions as very bad and his room as overcrowded (“We have ten people in the room. It’s about ten meters by five”). He further reported the absence of hot water in the camp, small quantities of food distributed twice a day and of very poor quality, without any fresh products.(“Food is not good at all”) (“they bring us a small amount for everyone. Just to stay alive”). In contrast to the Promachonas facility, the respondent was allowed to keep his phone in the PRDC, however his camera was reportedly broken by the detention officers without any explanation. The respondent reported very poor medical treatment in detention, describing it as dehumanizing and rushed (“they took us to the doctor like sheeps [...],like criminals”). He reported having observed a fellow detainee being forcibly medicated—allegedly to suppress protest behavior. Moreover, the respondent reported that during a hunger strike at the PRDC, authorities responded with violence, and he was among those who were hit. He also recalled having heard about other cases of violence against some detainees in the detention centre. Overall, the respondent emphasised the harmful consequences of his detention on his physical and mental health (“I lost four or five kilos. That was before Ramadan. Now even more.”) (“I’m thinking to hang myself here. To kill myself. So at least they can send my body to my family”).
