persons are kept in a reasonable state of cleanliness, and that such persons have ready access
to a proper toilet facility at all times. Detained persons should also be in a position to wash

detained for an extended period should also be provided with toiletries (e.g. soap and towel,
toothpaste, etc.) (paragraph 32);
-
all persons detained for 24 hours or longer to be offered the opportunity of outdoor exercise
every day (paragraph 32);
-
clear instructions to be issued with a view to ensuring that detained persons receive
appropriate food at regular intervals (including at least one full meal every day), and that
they have ready access to drinking water at all times (paragraph 33);
-
the Greek authorities to take immediate steps to bring to an end the practice of holding
persons, in particular immigration detainees, for prolonged periods in ordinary law
enforcement agency detention facilities; they should be accommodated in centres
specifically designed for such use, taking due account of the criteria repeatedly advanced by
the CPT (paragraph 34);
-
the Greek authorities to take the necessary steps as regards Petro Rali special holding
facility, in the light of the remarks made in paragraph 36 (paragraph 36).
