The respondent is 28 years old and from Egypt. He was apprehended in Athens while waiting for a decision on his asylum appeal and subsequently detained at multiple detention sites. Initially he was detained for seven days at Kaminia Police Station where he had his fingerprints, personal information and photograph taken. He was reportedly forced to sign documents written in Greek which he did not understand, without the help of a translator. He was then transferred to Petrou Ralli PRDC for three and a half months, where he had his photograph taken again and signed more documents. He was held in a room measuring 3x5 metres which contained five beds. Detainees held there ranged in number from four to six. Once per week, detainees were reportedly provided with cleaning materials for their room. Food was provided three times a day and detainees had access to drinking water. There was a doctor present at Petrou Ralli but the respondent reported that he did not receive his medical documents following a consultation, and officers working at the facility refused to help with this. The respondent reported: “I wanted to change space. It’s hard in Petrou Ralli because there’s no sun, there is no phone, no wifi.” He was then transferred to Paranesti PRDC. In his room at Paranesti there were seven beds but eight detainees. Meals were provided three times a day. The respondent noticed white CCTV cameras at Paranesti. The respondent stated that he had been taken to the hospital due to his health condition but that he was not given any of the papers he needed following the medical consultation despite asking the officers to provide them to him. The respondent said that there were no lawyers or non-governmental organisations at the PRDC. “The only thing I ask for is a lawyer to get the papers from the hospital. I just need the papers from the hospital so I can do something about my situation.”
