For groups with particular vulnerabilities, placement in the CCAC, even without being subjected to further restrictions on their liberty, may well constitute a violation of Article 5 ECHR. These include elderly and disabled people who, without the resources to pay for the bus, are unable to leave the CCAC due to its isolated location, leaving them stuck in a highly controlled and isolated facility. Moreover, even where placement in the CCAC does not constitute a restriction of liberty as per Article 5 ECHR, the general setting of restriction and securitisation must be taken into account as the foundation on which all further restrictive measures, such as the de facto detention of unaccompanied children (Section 3.1) mandatory quarantine detention (Section 3.2) and detention for identification purposes (Section 3.3), are applied.[99] In assessing whether there has been a violation of Article 3 ECHR, it must always be considered with the overall principle of human dignity.[100] With this in mind and when it is considered that asylum seekers are "a particularly underprivileged and vulnerable population in need of special protection",[101] and that a large percentage of CCAC residents will have been subjected to pushbacks and/or border violence, contributing to "feelings of fear, anguish and inferiority",[102] the general conditions of the CCAC may well reach the threshold of inhuman treatment, or at least provide a high foundation from which further undignified treatment can cumulate to reach the Article 3 standard.[103] [99] Stanev v Bulgaria, (GC) [2012] ECHR (App No 36760/06), the Court determined that "whether the building was locked is not decisive": a deprivation of liberty could be found as the individual required express permission to leave and that time spent was always subject to controls and restrictions (para 124).
