A new report from Amnesty International discusses the situation in Greece, following visits to two detention centers by the organization. It says that thousands of people have been arbitrarily detained in appalling conditions pending removal (unless they manage to apply for asylum) in the effort to implement the EU-Turkey deal. “People detained on Lesvos and Chios have virtually no access to legal aid, limited access to services and support, and hardly any information about their current status or possible fate. The fear and desperation are palpable.”
