Recommendations (A/HRC/16/52/Add.4) Situation during visit (See: A/HRC/16/52/Add.4) particularly appalling at Venizelos Airport Police Station in Athens. At the CIDs of Omonia, Agiou Panteleimonos and Akropolis in Athens, the conditions of detention were particularly appalling.

Some prisons (Korydallos, Komotini) were hosting three times more prisoners than their maximum capacity. In the two migration detention centres in the Evros region, Fylakio and Venna, the conditions were inadequate to meeting the most basic needs of detainees. Information received in the reporting period The Ministry of Justice, Transparency and Human Rights has elaborated a programme for the construction of new detention facilities in order to increase prison capacity and thereby improve detention conditions.

A 50-person ward has also been delivered at the detention facility of Larissa.
