The respondent is 34 years old and is from Morocco. He was arrested and detained in Amygdaleza PRDC because his asylum case had been rejected. Despite complaining about mental health issues for a very long time he was taken to another detention centre after 9 months to see a doctor. His experience with medical staff at Amygdaleza has been tough, with doctors ignoring his claims and disrespecting him. Hygiene items are in short supply at the centre, sometimes waiting for 3-4 months to be given soap. They have to clean the rooms themselves and the police assign people with the responsibility of cleaning the outside areas too. The food is of bad quality and they complain a lot about it but nothing changes. They manage to cook their own food with goods friends and family bring them from outside. The containers are never locked so they have access to a fenced yard. He claims that there are constant fights between those detained, including many injuries. In the aftermath of such incidents the police officers punish everybody. In his first month at the centre, he was asking for some of his personal items and three detention officers took him to another room and beat him up badly with batons. He was left there to recover by himself. After that, he was too afraid to ask for anything. He claims he was depressed with suicidal thoughts due to his long detention.
