A/HRC/16/52/Add.4 being cleaned. She said to have respiratory problems caused by the bad ventilation and everyone in the prison smoking. A female detainee, aged 22, from Poland, complains that there are not enough books and educational material for detainees. She also states that they have limited physical and recreational activities. She was never beaten, but mentioned that the officers can shout at them easily. She would like to have chlorine water to be able to clean the cells properly. A female detainee, aged around 60, from Greece, was arrested on 2 March 2010 together with her whole family and brought to Gada Police Station. Her family was discharged after 24 hours but she was kept. In order to extract a confession, the officers asked her to seat on a broken chair for 80 hours during which she was not allowed to stand except once to go to the bathroom. After a while, her feet became swollen, and she was hungry since she only received water. She was beaten nights and days by four CID officers, who used their hands, and punched her like a ball. She fell on her back at times, and had bruises all over the body. Once she came back from the toilets, a female officer asked her to get naked, and then made fun of her being so old and out of shape. The most senior officer of the group lifted her several times by the hair. After 80 hours, her face was completely blue, and so were her legs and arms. She was forced to sign papers. She was brought to court, and asked the judge to see a forensic expert. This was denied. She was then brought back to the police station, to a temporary cell, together with many people. Among them were three women, who helped her seat since she was half conscious. Five days later, the officers again brought her back to court and assigned her a lawyer. She refused, but asked to see a doctor. It was refused again. She was brought back to the police station’s large common room. On 19 March, she was brought to Korydallos prison, and heard for the first time that she was charged with intention of killing. She was immediately brought to the clinic of the prison and underwent exams. She then used these medical records to launch a habeas corpus petition, and stated she had to confess against herself, but it was rejected for procedural reasons, since one document was not in conformity with the requirements. She is now appealing. Korydallos Psychiatric Prison Hospital, Athens Visited on 18 October 2010 Korydallos Psychiatric Prison Hospital is located in an old and dilapidated building and lacked the required health staff and modern medical equipment needed to be in accordance with international standards for this kind of health facility. From the visit to the premises, and from interviews with health professionals and detainees, the Special Rapporteur found there was a great commitment and dedication from the health staff, who did their best to compensate for the difficult work conditions. A number of efforts were being made by the present administration to renew the facilities and to implement a new internal organization and provide health psychiatric programs. These efforts were well recognized by the psychiatric population, who were particularly happy with recent changes introduced in the establishment. However, without a substantial investment on the renewal of the facilities and adequate equipment and staff resources, Korydallos will not be adequately prepared for the future. Echsarkia Criminal Investigation Department, Athens Visited on 19 October 2010 The Special Rapporteur was received by CID Sergeant Apostolos Zotos. There were nine detainees held under the authority of the CID. Unlike in other CID facilities, all detainees 64
