On Lesvos, Fenix received numerous complaints that, despite the low number of occupants at the C.C.A.C., people are still forced to share housing units at full capacity, leaving them without personal space or privacy. Update on Samos unaccompanied children The Human Rights Legal Project (HRLP) on Samos successfully applied for several interim measures at the European Court of Human Rights on behalf of unaccompanied children, obliging the Greek authorities to take immediate steps to prevent further violations. Since then, Samos C.C.A.C. authorities have stopped providing any information about the “safe zone”, including the number of children there, and the organisation is effectively barred from accessing the children. Boat Refugee Foundation reports that most children temporarily transferred from Samos to Lesvos were suffering from untreated infected scabies. Among them was a child with serious cardiac issues and another on antibiotic treatment for pneumonia. Access to people on the move and obstruction of NGOs The Rule of Law report chapter on Greece notes concerns expressed by ANN members about inflammatory statements directed at NGOs, though it omits serious concerns shared with the Commission about reduced access and monitoring by civil society on the Aegean islands. HIAS Greece reports that the case at the Council of State (with Equal Rights Beyond Borders) seeking annulment of the heavily criticised NGO registration legislation has been pending for almost 3 years. On Samos and Lesvos, Aegean Network partners report a lack of coordination and consultation from authorities, coinciding with the absence of constructive dialogue from the Ministry of Migration and Asylum. Boat Refugee Foundation, although fully registered with the Ministry of Migration and Asylum, has been denied access to the Chios C.C.A.C. after applying to run a temporary healthcare project, without further legal justification. 3/4
