-8In this respect, the CPT is concerned to note that, as regards psychiatric establishments, no progress has been made to address the CPT’s previous recommendation to develop Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital into a fully resourced psychiatric hospital. Further, as regards foreign nationals deprived of their liberty under aliens’ legislation, hardly any progress has been achieved in implementing the CPT’s long-standing recommendations concerning safeguards against illtreatment, material conditions, health-care provision, and the continued detention of irregular migrants for prolonged periods in police stations and of migrant children by the police. The CPT urges the Greek authorities to take concrete action to address without delay the recommendations made by the Committee in these areas in this and previous visit reports. 9. At the end of the visit, the delegation presented its preliminary observations to Ioannis Balafas, Alternate Minister for Migration Policy, Dimitrios Anagnostakis, Secretary General for Public Order, Giorgos Giannopoulos, Secretary General of the Ministry of Health, and Eftychios Fytrakis, Secretary General for Crime Policy of the Ministry of Justice, Transparency and Human Rights, and Hellenic Police Lieutenant General Zacharoula Tsirigoti, Inspector General for Aliens and Border Protection, as well as senior officials from the above-mentioned ministries and from the Hellenic Police. Shortly after the transmission of the preliminary observations in writing, the Greek authorities requested their publication.1 The delegation also met Nikolaos Fistopoulos, Hearings Prosecutor at the Athens Court of First Instance. Further, the delegation held consultations with Giorgos Nikolopoulos, Deputy Ombudsman for Human Rights and Head of the National Preventive Mechanism (NPM), and with representatives of international and non-governmental organisations active in the areas of concern to the CPT. A list of the national authorities and organisations with which the delegation held consultations is set out in Appendix II to this report. C. Immediate observations under Article 8, paragraph 5, of the Convention 10. During the end-of-visit talks with the Greek authorities, on 19 April 2018, the CPT’s delegation made four immediate observations under Article 8, paragraph 5, of the Convention. The Greek authorities were requested: - - to put an immediate stop to the practice, at the Psychiatric Unit of Evangelismos General Hospital, of placing people in need of intensive care and supervision in the corridor; to put an immediate end to the current practice regarding the use of the “blue” or protective cells at Korydallos Prison Psychiatric Hospital; to take immediate steps to radically reduce the occupancy levels at Fylakio Pre-removal Centre. Further, all persons held at the establishment should have their own bed and mattress and vulnerable persons should immediately be transferred to appropriate open reception facilities; to provide all foreign nationals detained by the police with food, at regular intervals. On 7 and 8 June and 3 July 2018, the Greek authorities informed the CPT on the action taken in response to these immediate observations and on other matters raised by the delegation at the end-of-visit talks, which has been taken into account in the relevant sections of the present report. 1 See CPT/Inf (2018) 20, published on 1 June 2018.
