F) Hellenic League for Human Rights A unit of the Hellenic League for Human Rights visited the Prefectures of Evros and Rodopi form 25-29.11.2009, in the framework of its investigation on the detention conditions of undocumented migrants.31 It visited the detention facilities on the Border Guard Stations Iasmo, Ferres, Kipi, Tichero, Soufli, Issakio, the SFSA of Venna and Fylakio and it issued a Report. According to its findings: a) the conditions do not comply with the specifications of detention facilities. Especially the SFSA of Venna and the Department of the Guard of the Borders in Tichero are in such condition that offend the human dignity and cannot be improved; b) the detention facilities have no distinctive signs or marks that indicate the presence of a public service and particularly the police; c) in many cases there is no adequate light, ventilation and heating of the facility, with the exception of Kyprino; d) frequently men, women and children are detained in the same premises; e) access to a foreyard is practically non-existent. Even in the detention facilities where there is a proper foreyard, the detainees have access to the foreyard only for very short time periods and not on a daily basis due to the increased number of detainees and the lack of guard personnel; f) in many cases food is inadequate, while the quantity and the quality varies; g) the hygiene conditions and the distribution of sanitary ware are either inadequate or non-existent; h) there is limited medical and nursing personnel and only occasionally; i) the detainees are not properly informed regarding their rights, the time of their detention, asylum procedures, while there are no interpreters and j) overpopulation exacerbates the existing problems of inadequate infrastructure, especially regarding hygiene. 31 Hellenic League for Human Rights, Report on the detention of immigrants without legal documents in Rodopi and Evros, Thessalonica, 03.01.2010. 9
