2. For once more, this report demonstrates and proves our dedication to the principles of humanism and to the unswerving observance of the international conventions and laws regarding the protection and the securing of the rights and the freedoms of those being m the Greek territory, regardless of their nationality, origin, religious or ideological beliefs, economic or social situation. 3. As to remarks regarding maltreatment, once more we would like to point out the following: a. The existing legal framework related to the protection of human rights and freedoms and to the ban of every form of inhuman treatment or punishment is adequate and meets absolutely the spirit of the UNO declarations and the international Conventions, which have been concluded for this reason. b. The cases of police officers whose behavior/conduct is not the one provided for by the law and the regulations of the Police Corps, are very few and can be characterized as isolated. These cases are investigated from a judicial and a disciplinary point of view and penalties are imposed without any cover-up intention. c. As regards detention, we would like to point out that the existing legislative framework fully ensures the detainees' rights. d. Finally, we would like to inform you that the imperfections of the detention areas (except for the building infrastructure) ascertained by the Committee, are owed to some extent to the conduct of the detainees who many times cause wanton damages. In every case determined efforts are made to make the detention areas more functional and serious steps have been taken to this direction either with repairing or with the creation of new areas. Moreover, areas which didn't meet the necessary specifications and were not susceptible of improvement and repairing, are not in use anymore. Page 16
