Source: Paranesti PRDC, BVMN Our research found that the UNHCR and IOM made regular visits to Paranesti PRDC, although the main focus of IOM visits were reported to be referring people for voluntary return procedures. UNHCR visits monthly, in order to refer vulnerable cases to legal actors, and discuss the situation with authorities and medical services such as AEMY. Respondents also reported irregular visits from ICRC, however without any particular services or follow up support provided, to their knowledge. Local CSOs are able to send packages to support individuals in Paranesti PRDC with nonfood items, such as hygiene products and clothing. People who were detained in Paranesti PRDC described overcrowded spaces, sharing rooms with between 6-18 people and an average of 10, with one toilet and shower per container. It was reported that each container was organised by nationality. 50% of detainees described poor hygiene conditions; although they reported that they were provided with bunk beds, mattresses and blankets, they were extremely dirty. In the winter, respondents reported being extremely cold and not being provided with extra clothing or blankets. This was affirmed by UNHCR who reported severe shortages of clothing and lack of heating or warm water. In addition, people are not provided with soap, towels, or cleaning products, rather, they were expected to buy it themselves from a market - selling cigarettes, sim cards and other items - which attends the PRDC on a weekly basis. The food followed a similar level of quality, and was described by 70% of detainees as inadequate, inedible - often using expired ingredients and cold - or in too small quantities. As a result, hunger strikes were detailed by respondents, although this often reportedly led to a strong police response. Nobody advised me what to do. There wasn't any person, no one advised me what to do. Just I did it by myself. I wasn't prepared for the interview, that's why I was rejected I think. Cause nobody told me. Baqir, Paranesti About the food, it's like dog food. Ahmed, Paranesti There were not enough beds and blankets and when you asked for more blankets or to wash your laundry they just ignored you. Sometimes the temperature was minus 10 so we told them we needed the blankets. But they ignored us. Abdelkader, Paranesti 33
