- 27 63. The CPT recommends that the conditions of detention in Police Station No. 4 (Socratous St.), Piraeus Central Police Station and Glyfada Police Station be reviewed in the light of the remarks in paragraphs 52 and 62 above. - Larissa 64. The detention facilities at Larissa Police Headquarters consisted essentially of two multioccupancy cells measuring approximately 17 m². Material conditions within the rooms were unacceptable. They had no access to natural light and the artificial lighting was quite inadequate. One of the rooms was completely devoid of any fittings, apart from a radiator. The other was equipped with wooden plinths together with two mattresses and blankets; however, the latter were very dirty. Both rooms were filthy and in a poor state of repair, and the same was true of the adjacent toilet and washing facilities. 65. The CPT welcomes the withdrawal of these cells from service (cf. paragraph 53). It recommends that they remain out of use until such time as they are thoroughly cleaned, redecorated and refurbished and, more specifically, brought into conformity with the criteria set out in paragraph 52 above. - Thessaloniki 66. The detention facilities at Thessaloniki Police Headquarters were located in the mezzanine and basement areas of the Headquarters' building. 67. The mezzanine contained a very large detention room (55+ m²) equipped with five beds and accommodating, at the time of the delegation's visit, five detainees. Light (which included access to natural light) and ventilation were satisfactory, and both the room itself and the adjacent toilet/washing facilities were clean. In brief, conditions of detention in this area were good. 68. The situation was less satisfactory in the basement. This area contained four multioccupancy cells varying in size from 14 to 19 m². The occupancy rate at the time of the delegation's visit was, on the whole, tolerable, though one of the cells was somewhat overcrowded (six persons held in approximately 17 m²). The cells were equipped with beds (though not every detainee had his own bed), and the lighting and ventilation were adequate. The adjacent toilet/washing facilities had clearly been refurbished recently; however, at the time of the delegation's visit they were in a poor state of cleanliness. 69. In addition to the multi-occupancy cells, the basement also contained two "segregation" cells measuring respectively 5 and 6.5 m². Conditions in the cells were unacceptable; they were devoid of any fittings (save a filthy blanket in one cell), totally dark, and had no effective means of ventilation. Police officers present stated that these cells had not been used for the last year; however, both information received from persons detained in the basement area and the strong odour of urine in one of the cells suggested the contrary. As already indicated (cf. paragraph 53), these cells were subsequently withdrawn from service.
