HRLP alerts the Greek National Commission for Human Rights

On September 21, 2024, HRLP alerted the Greek National Commission for Human Rights (Εθνική Επιτροπή για τα Δικαιώματα του Ανθρώπου (ΕΕΔΑ)) of the unlawful detention in inhumane and degrading conditions of asylum-seekers in the Closed and Controlled Access Centre (CCAC) of Samos. 


The Greek National Commission for Human Rights is an independent national institution for the protection and promotion of human rights (NHRI). HRLP had first communicated with the National Commission on September 4, 2024. In the absence of reply, HRLP sent the attached report to the National Commission. 


It informs the National Commission of the unlawful detention of newly arrived people brought to the CCAC while awaiting the registration of their application for international  protection. It describes the inhumane and degrading conditions of such detention, including the disregard for the special needs of vulnerable asylum-seekers. 


This report was sent three days after the European Court of Human Rights granted interim measures requested by HRLP on behalf of a woman, survivor of SGBV., and her 6 months old daughter who has a congenital heart disease. HRLP had argued that given the applicants' vulnerabilities, by illegally detaining them inside the CCAC, the Greek authorities were subjecting them to inhumane and degrading treatment. On September 19, 2023, the European Court granted the interim measures and indicated to the government of Greece to ensure that the second applicant be provided with appropriate medical care and that both applicants should be ensured adequate living conditions, taking into account their extreme vulnerability.

I like how this company offers several renovation solutions without making the website feel overwhelming. Everything is easy to navigate and understand. Homeowners considering new flooring should definitely learn more about Flooring Services before beginning their next remodeling project for lasting beauty and durability.

It's good to see organizations actively engaging with human rights bodies. As a PhD student who works part-time at Last-Minute Assignments, I think about a college project on human rights that opened my eyes to legal advocacy. I was so eager to contribute but so limited on funds that I'd look for cheap computer science Assignment Help just to save money for research resources. Your post highlights the importance of speaking up. Cheers. Nice post

The post about the alert to the Greek National Commission for Human Rights highlighted how important it is to protect vulnerable people and make sure their voices are heard. It reminded me of a school discussion about fairness and how small actions can help support others. During that busy semester, I used management assignment help in the UK when I was struggling to keep up with my coursework and deadlines. The post shows that speaking up for people's rights can lead to meaningful change.
