FORGOTTEN Administratively detained irregular migrants and asylum seekers Detainees are allowed access to the outside areas for 10 to 20 minutes per day, but not on a daily basis. There is no provision for use of separate spaces for men and families. Use of cell phones is prohibited and communication is only possible through a card phone, if the detainees can buy a card. No medical services are provided. In case of health issues, detainees are transferred to a health center or a hospital. There are no social workers and psychologists. Finally, from our discussions with the detainees it transpired that provision of information regarding their legal status and the grounds of their detention is insufficient, as no interpretation services are provided. b. Special Holding Facilities Athens Airport Holding facilities General Findings On November 19 and 20, 2015 and on June 6, 2016, we visited the Athens Airport’s Holding Facilities. The total number of people detained was approximately 30. We were given full access to the detention facilities. There are two spaces: one is used for the administratively detained and the other is used for the persons arriving to the airport without entrance permit. These persons are either detained in order to be deported soon or they have submitted an asylum application which is pending. The main problem of these two detention facilities is the lack of an outdoor yard. Detailed Observations According to our findings, based on our visit and our conversation with the detainees: The facility used for the administratively detained consists of separate cells, where the detainees remain for 24 hours a day. They are allowed to exit the cells only if they need to go to the toilet. On the other hand, the facility used for the persons arriving to the airport without entrance permit, consists of rooms and toilets/showers. The detainees can only move within this indoor, limited space. A lack of personal hygiene items has been observed. There is no provision for recreational activities (TV, radio or library). Prehospital medical care is provided by the station of National Center of Emergency Pre-hospital Care (E.K.A.B), which is located at the airport. 29
