- 56 C. Military establishments 134. The delegation interviewed two immigration detainees who alleged that they had been illtreated by army personnel while in their custody; both of them bore marks consistent with their allegations. The CPT has recommended that military personnel called upon to deal with persons who have entered Greece illegally be reminded that ill-treatment is not acceptable. Further, foreign nationals detained by military personnel in connection with their illegal entry into Greece did not benefit from the formal safeguards against the ill-treatment of detained persons advocated by the CPT (e.g. the rights of notification of custody, and of access to a lawyer and a doctor). This shortcoming should be remedied. 135. The disciplinary detention facilities at the Infantry Cadet Officer Academy in Heraklion and the 15th Brigade of the Army in Kastoria displayed certain deficiencies, as regards in particular the dimension of the cells (Heraklion) and cell lighting (Kastoria). Consequently, the CPT has welcomed the fact that these facilities have not been used for detention purposes for some considerable time. D. Action on the CPT’s recommendations, comments and requests for information 136. The various recommendations, comments and requests for information formulated by the CPT are listed in Appendix I. 137. As regards more particularly the CPT's recommendations, having regard to Article 10 of the Convention, the Committee requests the Greek authorities to provide within six months a response giving a full account of action taken to implement them. The CPT trusts that it will also be possible for the Greek authorities to provide in the abovementioned response reactions to the comments formulated in this report which are listed in Appendix I as well as replies to the requests for information made.
