Conditions in police stations and other facilities Police stations are by nature ‘totally unsuitable’ for detaining persons for longer than 24 hours. 1233 However, they are constantly used for prolonged migration detention. As mentioned above and according to official data, there were 265 persons in administrative detention at the end of 2025 in police stations and other holding facilities under the competence of the Police, of whom 15 were asylum applicants.1234 According to GCR findings, detainees in police stations live in substandard conditions as a rule, with no outdoor access, poor sanitary conditions, lack of sufficient natural light, no provision of clothing or sanitary products, insufficient food, no interpretation services and no medical services; the provision of medical services by AEMY concerns only pre-removal detention centres and does not cover persons detained in police stations. The ECtHR has consistently held that prolonged detention in police stations per se is not in line with guarantees provided under Article 3 ECHR and has found over the years a violation of said provision by the Greek Authorities in a number of cases of persons detained in police stations. 1235 3.
