The respondent is 27 years old and is from Pakistan. He was apprehended in Athens and subsequently transferred to Petrou Ralli Pre-Removal Detention Centre (PRDC) where he was detained for approximately 25 days and then moved to Amygdaleza PRDC for approximately two months. Upon arrival at Petrou Ralli, the respondent reported that he was photographed, his fingerprints were taken, and his personal belongings, including his phone, were confiscated. He also described being forced to sign papers in a language he did not understand without any translator provided. “There is no translator and if you refused to sign the paper they said they would keep you and put you in a dark place as a punishment. So you have to sign the paper.” The respondent reported witnessing verbal and physical abuse inflicted on detainees. “[The officers in Petrou Ralli] beat a lot of people. [...] They would take us to a dark place where you can not see anything and torture us.” He also reported that people needing urgent medical attention were not provided with assistance by the authorities. “One man had extreme pain in his kidney and he was crying. He was asking for help but nobody came.” The respondent reported that he also suffered from kidney problems and that he was beaten with an electric rod and put in isolation after asking for help from the officers: “I was suffering from extreme pain. [...] I asked ‘could you take me to a hospital?’ the officer said ‘you are making a drama, you don’t have anything.’ So he beat me and he abused me. He had an electrical rod.” The respondent reported being kept in a dark room alone for approximately 25 days without access to a toilet, water, a bed or any source of natural light. No food was reportedly provided to detainees and the respondent said he was only provided with food by his friends from outside the detention site. Reportedly, after approximately 25 days, the respondent and ten other people were transferred to Amygdaleza PRDC. Upon arrival, the group had their photographs taken. “We didn’t have anything there. No beds, no toilet. That day it was so cold and I didn't have anything to keep myself warm.” The respondent was then moved to another room with four men in it. He reported that at no point did he have access to a lawyer and the only interaction he had with a non-governmental organisation within the facility was over the phone. Reportedly, there was a Pakistani translator present that did not translate accurately. In Amygdaleza the hygienic conditions were reportedly extremely poor: “The toilet is so bad. It’s not cleaned. The water is too cold. We cannot even take a shower because it makes our skin numb. We don’t have shampoos and soaps.” He was reportedly given two meals a day but stated that the quality of the food was poor. He also believed there was something put in the food to alter the detainees behaviour and mood: “The food is not safe for us to eat because they put some type of medicine in it. We are aggressive and sometimes sleep all the time and have different kinds of issues after eating the food. We have bleeding gums and we experience a lot of bad breath. [...] The water is not clean and there is a tap from which we drink.” The respondent reported that there was one doctor present in the facility that however did not treat anyone. “The doctor just gives us drugs to keep our minds asleep all the time.” According to the respondent there was no wifi available. The officers were reportedly verbally abusive and often acted aggressively towards detainees. Reportedly, if detainees ever question the treatment or the living conditions, the officers beat them and bring them to isolated rooms where they are not given any food or water. “[The officers working at the facility] do this as punishment for raising your voice against the conditions”. The respondent stated that conflict occasionally arised between detainees due to the poor mental health of many people which is caused by the dire conditions and treatment in the detention centre. “The people who have psychiatric issues are locked in different rooms. If a person fights one or two times, they are taken to the doctor and the doctor will give them a kind of injection and he will become more serious, more mentally serious.” The respondent also noted that he has witnessed pushbacks occurring from Amygdaleza PRDC. He reported that he has seen this happen to “a lot of people” and that the people were “forcefully” pushed back.
