Questions 3 and 4:
(a) The displacement of migratory flows from the region of Evros to the marine borders of our country eastwards
(especially from July 2015), had as a result the handling with great difficulty of the management of gross
migratory flows in the Northern Aegean, through the operation of the Aliens’ Pre-Removal Detention Centres
of Lesvos and the former Nationality Identification Centres for Aliens of Samos, Lesvos and Chios, while the
non-existence of appropriate reception and detention structures in the region of the Southern Aegean rendered
difficult the management of the newly entering aliens.

Owing to the continuation of the migratory pressure and the issues which arose on a daily basis for management,
with the most significant of which being the detention of irregular immigrants with an economic profile which
even though there has been imposed the restrictive term of their non-departure from the island where they are
situated, until it is judged that they will have to return to Turkey (review of asylum applications, lodging of legal
remedies), they, during their free stay in the island, showed delinquent behaviour (thefts, threats - insults, causing
of bodily harms, etc.), but also the need of the detention of the aliens whose application for international
st
protection is dismissed by the Asylum Agency (of the 1 instance) or their appeal is dismissed by the Appeals
nd
Committee (of the 2 instance), the Aliens’ Pre-Removal Detention Centre was also re-established and has been
operating in the island of Kos, of a capacity of (500) persons.

Taking into consideration the periodical observations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture
and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) and of other International and European
Organisations to our Country, there was continued the operation of eight (8) Aliens’ Pre-Removal Detention
Centres: of Amygdaleza, Tavros (24, P. Ralli Street), Corinth, Drama (Paranesti), Xanthi, Orestiada (Fylakio),
Lesvos and Kos, laying emphasis - priority to the securing of the reception and state conditions, in a decent
living environment.

(b) The aforementioned spaces have been operating with the absolute observance of the safety and hygiene rules.
They are entrusted with: (a) the care for the nutrition, cleanliness, clothing, medical examination and the
transport of aliens to hospitals or health care centres, (b) the cooperation with the co-competent Authorities,
Agencies and Bodies with the aim of the provision of medical-pharmaceutical care, psychosocial care and
consulting support to persons who are under detention and (c) the care for the interpretation, in the cases where
such is required. […]
Besides the foregoing, in all the detention areas relevant sheets have been posted at visible points and the
detainees are served with “Fact Sheets”, via which they are informed, in a language which they understand, on
their rights with regard to the detention and the asylum procedure.
It is noted that with regard to their detention the unaccompanied minors, are under the status of protected
guarding, absolutely provisionally and until their transport to structures of the Hellenic Police, always in
specially formulated areas and not together with other adults, and subsequently pursuant to the standing
legislation must be transferred in cooperation with the National Centre for Social Solidarity (EKKA) and Non-
Government Organisations (NGO’s), to appropriate open accommodation structures, with the sole criterion
being the best interest of the child.
