GREECE IRREGULAR MIGRANTS AND ASYLUM-SEEKERS ROUTINELY DETAINED IN SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS 43 International believes that the Greek authorities should explore alternatives, such as open or semi-open centres staffed with qualified personnel where the screening of those who arrive irregularly can take place. Furthermore, the authorities need to ensure that irregular migrants and asylum-seekers arriving at those centres have access to free legal assistance and interpreters in languages they understand and medical assistance.
