Report
of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and the
inhuman and degrading treatment regarding Greece
The
above mentioned Committee is entitled to look at the situation in
every European country in regard to the violations occurred.
The
report points out a series of violations committed by the Greek
police in border areas as well as in the prisons. The
Committee has mentioned inhuman and degrading treatment of Albanian
citizens by Greek police. Emigrants in particular are
ill-treated, especially those who are Albanians.
The
Greek Helsinki Monitor, while making known to the Albanian Helsinki
Committee the above-mentioned report, has at the same time
underlined that this is a case of widespread xenophobia in the
behavior of the Greek police. "Albanophobia" of the
Greek officials is denounced.
The
Greek Helsinki Monitor adds that the conclusions reached by it about
prohibition of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment are fully
confirmed by the latest investigations undertaken together with
Amnesty International and the International Helsinki Federation.
