a.
These detention cells are only intended for male foreign nationals
awaiting their deportation.
b.
This place of deprivation of liberty consists of fourteen (14) cells of
a total capacity of fifty-six (56) persons.
c.
All the deficits noted by the Committee in regard to these cells have
been restored, and in due time they will be operational.
DETENTION CELLS AT THE PIRAEUS TRANSFER STATION
a.
It is a fact that the building which houses the Piraeus Transfer
Station is not suitable due to lack of grounds, the antiquity of the
building and the number of detainees.
b.
The fact is that due to the antiquity of the building, no restoration
can be undertaken effectively. Therefore, the Ministry Services
have tried to locate a new suitable building. However, our efforts up
to this date have been unsuccessful for various reasons (mainly
social reaction).
c.
Finally, despite the current state of this place of deprivation of
liberty, our undertakings in regard to the replacement of mattresses
and blankets, the repair of the worm electrical and sewage
installations and the painting of the building have been
implemented, and there is a constant effort towards the
improvement of the detention conditions.
PLACE OF DETENTION AT THE POLICE STATION OF THE
EASTERN AIR TERMINAL OF ATHENS
a.
This consists of one cell, of an area of approximately 30 square
maters, where only criminal offenders remanded by all the
Departments of the Security Direction of Attica are held.
b.
This place is sufficiently clean and from time to time the walls are
painted and the cell is disinfected. Furthermore, main tresses and
blankets are frequently replaced.
c.
The natural ventilation cannot be improved, given the position of
this place. The artificial lighting is entirely adequate.
