However, at the time of writing MSF has been denied access to the CCAC.[95] Their employees’ registration status on the National Migration Registry was the reason cited for the denial of access, which has now left those who are unable to leave the CCAC,[96] including those detained there, without on-site access to a doctor. Conclusion The law allows for the restriction of freedom only if an adequate standard of living, which "guarantees [the applicants’] maintenance and promotes their physical and mental health, based on respect for human dignity" is ensured.[97] The conditions in the CCAC do not meet this requirement. Rather than treating those accommodated in the CCAC with human dignity, the CCAC’s securitised structure creates a prison-like environment where people’s freedom of movement and freedom of choice are restricted, where they are isolated from wider society and where their basic needs, including access to a doctor, are not met. © Sam Jubb It is therefore no surprise that those accommodated in the CCAC consistently call it "the prison".[98] [95] International Rescue Committee and I Have Rights. 2023.
