ANNUAL SPECIAL REPORT 2016 17 3. In the event of the even temporary detention in police station cells of third-country nationals to be returned, an effort must be made to separate administrative detainees from criminal prisoners, in accordance with Article 31(1) subparagraph b of Law 3907/2011 and Article 16(1) of the Returns Directive 2008/115/EC: “In all cases, third-country nationals in detention are kept separate from ordinary prisoners”. Following are some indicative conclusions drawn from visits/on–site inspections: ρρ At the Centre at Moria (Lesvos), the overall image of the site in October 2016 appears to have improved compared to January and May of the same year. Although in the area next to the entrance some temporary tents (of the kind used for camping) in poor condition were set up, farther inside the camp the accommodation was better organized. It is noted that the weather conditions on the day of the delegation’s visit were especially good.

Two of the 14 huts are not in use, as they have suffered extensive fire damage. The living conditions and infrastructure were deemed poor. The majority of detainees sleep on mattresses on the floor. The toilets in the huts were found to be in very bad condition, very dirty, and full of water due to a problem with the plumbing system. The detainees complained of the lack of cleanliness. Also, they expressed complaints about the lack of sanitary products and hot water. There were complaints of many cases of gastroenteritis, while detainees informed the Ombudsman delegation that whenever they request a doctor, their request is not granted, and also that they lack dining tables and other basic infrastructure. Furthermore, they complained of the lack of variety in the food distributed to them (3 times a day). The huts are locked only at night, while it should be noted that although asked by the delegation the detainees expressed no complaints against the police officers’ conduct towards them. Some claimed not to know the reason for their detention. In a neighbouring fenced-
