FORGOTTEN Administratively detained irregular migrants and asylum seekers provided with clothes and shoes. There is no doctor at the Police Station and, therefore, no medical examination upon admission. In case a detainee has a medical problem, she is taken to the hospital. In the Police Station for Combatting Illegal Immigration at Agios Athanasios there were 4 detainees in a cell of about 20 square meters (however, 10 days before, there were 22 detainees). During our visit on 9/7/2016, 18 persons were detained in 2 cells of approximately 20 square meters. The detainees reported that the natural light was inadequate. No items for personal hygiene are provided. The detainees clean the toilet themselves just with water. They are given 5,87 euros for food, which is enough for breakfast and one meal, usually the same every day and of low nutritional value. There are no interpretation services. There is no yard time. Regarding recreation there is only a TV set. There is no doctor at the Police Station and there is no medical examination upon admission. If a detainee faces a health problem, he is taken to the local medical center. However, in our estimation access to medical care is difficult. In the Police Station for Combatting Illegal Immigration at Mygdonia there were 4 adult detainees (however 10 days before our visit, there were 16 detainees; 8 adults and 8 unaccompanied minors). As we were informed there is a small window, so there is not sufficient natural light. The air-conditioning is inadequate and there is no hot water. Detainees clean the toilet themselves only with the use of water. No items for personal hygiene are provided. They are given 5,87 euro for food, that is enough for breakfast and one meal, usually the same every day and of low nutritional value. There is no interpretation. No yard time is provided. Regarding recreation there is only a TV set. There is no doctor at the Police Station and there is no medical examination upon admission. If a detainee has a medical problem he is taken to the local medical center. According to our estimation, access to medical care is difficult. 35
