Greece Criticized by Human Rights Watch on Detention Facilities

Greece should move detained refugees, especially unaccompanied children, from overcrowded facilities near the land border with Turkey to detention centres with more space on the Greek islands, Human Rights Watch said.

“Greece should send detainees to detention facilities in the islands where there is more space” and “protect the 120 unaccompanied migrant children among them,” the group said in an e-mailed statement today.
