highlighted, Messan reported having recurring nightmares due to his experience of shipwreck. Participants who disclosed having survived a shipwreck were evidently distressed and traumatised these experiences and had unanimously not received adequate psychological care. It is worth noting that participants were not asked whether they had experienced a shipwreck during interviews for this report, and these four raised their experiences while answering other questions. It is therefore possible that additional participants, and additional persons detained within the PRDC, are also shipwreck survivors. Last year, a report by the International Rescue Committee found that one in twenty people referred to their organisation for psychosocial support, were shipwreck survivors, or relatives of shipwreck victims.287 While the above sections highlight that the legal protections that should be afforded to asylum seekers are routinely not implemented, in this section, by foregrounding our participants’ experiences of shipwrecks, we hope to draw attention to the inadequacy of ‘vulnerability’ as it stands in Greek law. In both instances, the effect is that vulnerable people are continually and routinely detained. g. Single Women Seven of this report’s participants were single women. As we have previously outlined (see ‘Mixed-gender accommodation’ above), two disclosed being housed in mixed-gender sections, and one disclosed being in a mixed-gender container. Another male participant also disclosed being housed in a container with women and men. Accommodation in the PRDC is thus often, but not always, separated by gender, and single women are sometimes housed in the same sections or containers as men. h. LGBTI Persons Four participants identified as persons who are LGBTI. All had experienced persecution for their sexual orientation, which formed the basis of their claim for asylum. Two disclosed having experienced serious violence due to their sexual orientation. Emmanuel told us: “I was beaten and attacked in Togo because I am gay, by people in the area where I lived”. Daouda also disclosed that he was hit with batons in Guinea for the same reason, which left him with lasting injuries in his legs and feet. Others disclosed that they did not feel they could be open about their sexual orientation in the PRDC. Louis told us that only one other person in detention knew about his sexual orientation; a friend, who he felt had consequently distanced himself from him. Rashid additionally reported: “…nobody knows about it in the PRDC, I did not tell any asylum-seekers and I did not tell the police, so I am not sure whether they know”. Despite having experienced persecution related to their sexual orientation, each of these individuals was detained without any assessment of vulnerability following from their being LGBTI. D. Conclusions The detention conditions described by our clients and reflected in our personal experiences inside the PRDC on Kos neither fulfil the standards laid down in Greek national law nor under EU law and international human rights law. The human rights standards on nutrition, recreation, access to health care and Covid-19 measures, as outlined above, are not met, especially when considering the cumulative effect of these deficiencies. 287 Ibid at 14. 61 DETENTION OF MIGRANTS ON THE ISLAND OF KOS
