The respondent is 35 years old and is from Afghanistan. He was arrested upon arrival and reportedly accused of ‘illegal trespassing’. He was taken to court and was sentenced to 4 years in prison. He was transferred to Nigrita prison, where he was detained for nine months. He applied for asylum and eventually was recognised as a refugee long after he was released. While in prison, he had no information about his case and he did not meet with an interpreter. Apart from receiving some painkillers from the police, he did not have access to any medical care. Despite reporting some health issues, he was never taken to the hospital. Access to the shower was restricted to 2-3 hours per day, out of which there was no water at all. They had to buy their own hygiene items. Detainees had access to outdoor space all day. He was reportedly physically abused by the police on two occasions; because he asked for legal aid and because his interview to a journalist upon arrival had aired on television. He also mentioned that some people had gone on hunger strike to protest the conditions of their confinement.
