Consultations held by the delegation and co-operation encountered 6. The CPT’s delegation received, on the whole, very good co-operation from the Greek authorities. At the outset of the visit, it had the opportunity to meet the Minister for Justice, Mr Evangelos GIANNOPOULOS, the Minister for Health and Welfare, Mr Lambros PAPADIMAS, and the Minister for Public Order, Mr Michalis CHRYSSOCHOIDIS, and to have fruitful discussions with senior officials from these ministries. Further, the delegation enjoyed rapid access to all the places of detention visited and received a satisfactory reception from the management and staff of the establishments concerned. 7. In addition to having talks with the competent national authorities and meeting local officials at the establishments visited, the delegation held meetings with representatives of the UNHCR and non-governmental organisations active in areas of concern to the CPT. A list of the national authorities and organisations consulted during the visit is set out in Appendix II to this report. E. Immediate observation under Article 8, paragraph 5, of the Convention 8. On 2 November 1999, before its departure from Athens, the CPT’s delegation had a final meeting with the Greek authorities, in order to acquaint them with the main facts found during the visit. At that meeting, the delegation made an immediate observation, under Article 8, paragraph 5, of the Convention, in respect of the holding of foreign nationals detained under the Aliens’ legislation in police establishments. Such persons were being held for weeks - and on occasion for months - in overcrowded and poor material conditions, with no access to outdoor exercise and without any activities. The delegation requested that immediate steps be taken to: i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) cease using the holding facility for illegal aliens run by the Transitional Detachment in Feres until it has been thoroughly cleaned and refurbished; ensure that each person detained overnight is supplied with a clean mattress and blankets; ensure that detainees can comply with the needs of nature when necessary in clean and decent conditions, and are offered adequate washing facilities and appropriate personal hygiene items; carry out regular disinfecting of detention facilities; review the provision of food to detained persons, and ensure that all of them are given food at appropriate times; ensure regular medical supervision of detention facilities used for holding foreign nationals. In the interests of public health, these facilities should be visited on a regular basis by a qualified nurse. Further, in addition to the possibility of transferring detainees to hospital for treatment, provision should be made for a doctor to attend police establishments in case of need.
