FORGOTTEN Administratively detained irregular migrants and asylum seekers From the cases we investigated and we hereto present, it appeared that, inter alia, forced returns are executed in violation of the principle of non-refoulement and recognized refugees are detained for the purpose of return. Cases of detainees - - An Afghani national, J.M, originating from the province of Maidan Wardak and member of the ethnic group of Hazara, was detained for five months in the Pre-removal Detention Center at Amygdaleza and then was forcibly returned in violation of the principle of non-refoulement, as in Maidan Wardak province members of the Hazara group face persecution by the nomadic tribe Kutsi, as well as by the Taliban. The State cannot offer protection, while internal relocation is impossible because of the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan and the persistent discrimination against the Hazara ethnic minority. It should be noted that two days before the forced return, our organization informed the Aliens Attica Sub-directorate for the fact that any return procedure would violate the principle of non-refoulement. R.H., Irani national, was detained for half a month in the Athens Airport Police Department and a return decision was issued against him on 06/12/2015 and 12/12/2015, although he had been granted refugee status in Greece. More specifically, as the aforementioned person had been returned from Norway, there had been previous correspondence between the Norwegian and the Greek authorities and, therefore, his file included an accompanying document of the Norwegian authorities, stating that the person was readmitted to Greece because he was a recognized refugee while mentioning the relevant decision of the Asylum Service. We note that the second return decision stated that the asylum application of the aforementioned person had been rejected (!). Moreover, the police authorities transferred the recognized refugee to the consular authorities of his country –by which he is persecuted– in order for him to be recognized as a citizen of Iran and be returned to his country. After a written intervention of our organization, he was released with a six-month removal postponement decision (!) 43
