‘Why Are You Keeping Me Here?’. Unaccompanied Children Detained in Greece

The report, ‘Why Are You Keeping Me Here?’: Unaccompanied Children Detained in Greece', documents arbitrary and prolonged detention of children in violation of international and Greek law. Children are held in unsanitary conditions, sometimes with unrelated adults, in police stations and detention centers where they have little access to basic care and services. The report is based on interviews with 42 children who were or had been detained, as well as visits to two police stations and two detention centers in mainland Greece.
