FORGOTTEN Administratively detained irregular migrants and asylum seekers Μore specifically, CPT trusts that Pre-Removal Detention Centers of Tavros (Petrou Ralli) and Orestias, with their totally inappropriate carceral design19, should only be used for holding persons for short periods. Similar recommendations have been made by CPT in relation to special holding facilities. CPT also recommended that all detainees should be offered a bed and have ready access to toilet facilities, including at night.20 CPT stressed that the Amygdaleza Special Holding Facility for Unaccompanied Minors, should no longer be used for the detention of unaccompanied minors; instead, more suitable premises, preferably open, should be found.21 Regarding the detention conditions in police stations, CPT recommended that the Greek authorities take urgent steps to ensure that detained irregular migrants are transferred without delay to centers specifically designed to meet the requirements of this population.22 However, during our visits to detention centers of irregular migrants, we have seen that there are deviations from relevant legislation, international standards and CPT recommendations. More specifically: • Use of spaces considered inappropriate by CPT for longtime detention (Pre-Removal Detention Center of Tavros, Pre-Removal Detention Center of Orestias, Police Station of Drapetsona, Police Station of Naflpio, Aliens’ Division Detention Center of Salonica, Police Station of Agios Athanasios and Mygdonia) and of the Amygdaleza Special Holding Facility for Unaccompanied Minors deemed also inappropriate for the detention of minors • Poor maintenance of the facilities • No yard time in the Special Holding Facilities (Athens Airport Holding facilities, Aliens’ Division Detention Center of Salonica) and in the police stations 19 Ibid, page 37. 20 Ibid, page 44. 21 Ibid, page 46 22 Ibid, page 81. Furthermore, CPT has recommended that Greek authorities take measures to ensure that, all the persons detained for more than 24 hours, are provided with soap, toilet paper, shampoo, shaving foam, toothbrush and toothpaste, as well as, all detainees have access to appropriate lighting, shower, hot water and are offered yard time every day 20
