Reports reveal systematic use of violence in Greek detention centres
Two new reports by Border Violence Monitoring Network and the Mobile Info Team highlight the severe and systematic use of violence in detention centres across Greece, including pre-removal detention centres, police stations, and holding facilities. Reported violence include physical violence, psychological ill-treatment, humiliation, denial of medical care, and verbal aggression, indicating a grave violation of human rights and potential torture.
Ukraine: immigration detention continues in Volyn
The Global Detention Project has reported that 44 people continue to be detained in dire conditions in Ukraine’s Volyn immigration detention centre. Many of the detainees, mainly ethnic Tatars, Dagestanis, Russians, Azerbaijanis, Armenians, and Uzbeks, fled persecution by Russian security services and would be in extreme danger if deported to their countries. Ukraine’s continued detention of migrants violates international legal standards that underscore the necessity of releasing people from administrative detention during war.
