-5Copy of the letter transmitting the CPT’s report Strasbourg, 17 April 2002 Dear Sirs, In pursuance of Article 10, paragraph 1, of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, I enclose herewith the report to the Government of Greece drawn up by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) following its visit to Greece from 23 September to 5 October 2001. The report was adopted by the CPT at its 47th meeting, held from 5 to 8 March 2002. I would draw your attention in particular to paragraph 137 of the report, in which the CPT requests the Greek authorities to provide within six months a response setting out the action taken upon its visit report. The CPT would ask, in the event of the response being forwarded in Greek, that it be accompanied by an English or French translation. It would also be most helpful if the Greek authorities could provide a copy of the response in a computer-readable form. I am at your entire disposal if you have any questions concerning either the CPT’s report or the future procedure. Yours faithfully, Silvia CASALE President of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment Ministry of Justice Directorate for Drafting Legal Texts, Specific Legal Affairs and International Relations 96, Messoghion street ATHENS
