Government of Greece drawn up by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and
Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) following its visit to Greece from 19 to 27
January 2011. The report was adopted by the CPT at its 74th meeting, held from 7 to 11 March 2011.

respect of the recommendations contained in paragraphs 21 and 26, the CPT requests to be provided
with a response within two months, and thereafter to receive bi-monthly updates on the situation
pertaining in the facilities referred to in these recommendations.
I am at your entire disposal if you have any questions concerning either the CPT’s report or
the future procedure.
