-5Copy of the letter transmitting the CPT's report Strasbourg, 9 December 1997 Dear Sirs, In pursuance of Article 10, paragraph 1, of the European Convention for the prevention of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, I have the honour to enclose herewith the report to the Government of Greece drawn up by the European Committee for the prevention of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (CPT) after its visit to Greece from 25 May to 6 June 1997. The report was adopted by the CPT at its thirty-fourth meeting, held from 3 to 7 November 1997. I would draw your attention in particular to paragraph 264 of the report, in which the CPT requests the Greek authorities to provide an interim and a follow-up report on action taken upon its report. The CPT would be grateful if it were possible, in the event of the reports forwarded being in Greek, for them to be accompanied by an English or French translation. I am at your entire disposal if you have any questions concerning either the CPT's report or the future procedure. Finally, I would be grateful if you could acknowledge receipt of this letter. Yours faithfully, Ivan ZAKINE President of the European Committee for the prevention of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment Ministry of Justice Directorate for Drafting Legal Texts, Specific Legal Affairs and International Relations 96, Messoghion Street GR-115 27 ATHENS
