- 16 (iv) Paragraphs 64 and 65: Requests for information: Complaints received by a delegation of the Committee about physical abuse/ill-treatment of suspects by police officers of the Security Department during preliminary questioning at the General Police Directorate of Attica for the purpose of obtaining their confessions Administrative investigations into the case by means of a PDE have been ordered. On completion and hearing of the PDE by the competent decision-making body (General Police Director of Attica), we will notify you of its findings. We would also like to point out that the Committee's observations do not identify the alleged victims; only the police agency where the incidents have allegedly taken place is identified. Moreover, no specific information is given, such as identity particulars of witnesses, nationality and identity particulars of the alleged victims, exact date of the incident or arrest of the victim, the offence for which he was arrested or any other information that can be cross-checked, without any room for doubt, with the investigated case. We would also like to inform you that, to date, the competent Directorate of Police Personnel of the Police Headquarters has not been notified of any relevant complaint submitted to any authority by the alleged victims or third parties, while a large number of persons of various nationalities has been detained in the premises of such agency, which makes the identification of the alleged victims very difficult. Consequently, since these deficiencies make it very difficult to identify the persons involved in each case and investigate the complaints, if the Committee has more information relating to the complaints, we kindly ask you to transmit it immediately to the Police Headquarters in order to be cross-referenced with the administrative inquiry and impute disciplinary liability against any police officer involved therein. (v) Paragraphs 64, 65 and 70: Requests for information: Complaints received by a delegation of the Committee about ill-treatment of foreign nationals detained at the Police Station of Chios and denial of access of a minor detainee to a lawyer and third persons During the Committee's visit to the detention facilities of the Police Station of Chios (22.07.2016), there were ten (10) detainees, of whom three (3) were penal detainees (one for flagrant proceedings and two for referral to the Investigating Judge of Chios), while the other seven (7) foreign nationals were administrative detainees, held in order to be taken to Pre-Departure Detention Centre for Foreign Nationals (PROKEKA) on the mainland, since they had committed criminal offences and were considered dangerous for public safety. (a) The 15-year-old foreign national who was in the detention facilities of the Police Station of Chios was detained by document of the Investigating Judge of Chios because he and another adult had committed a felony (violation of article 380 of the Penal Code on robbery and of article 45 of the Penal Code on complicity; they were arrested on 20.07.2016). Both persons (minor-adult) were detained to be taken to the Investigating Judge of Chios on 25.07.2016, who released them under restrictions.
