Lawyers of the Avocats Sans Fronti\u00e8res, HRLP and I Have Rights organisations who do not work within the CCAC signed a report to the Ombudsman on the problems they face with access to the structure. As lawyers Ioanna Begiazi and Dimitris Choulis from HRLP told RSA, lawyers of these organisations must ask for permission and state the reasons why they want to enter the structure and with whom they want to speak, and they must also have an authorisation from this person. Upon entering the CCAC they have their (political) identities kept, while until recently their lawyers\u2019 identities were enough &#8211; which should normally allow them to enter any public service<sup><sup><a href=\"#footnote-6\">[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup>. Further, they are accompanied everywhere by a private security officer (G4S), from November 2022 until today.<\/p>\n<p>According to the UNHCR<sup><sup><a href=\"#footnote-7\">[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/sup>, legal support within the structure is provided by METAdrasi with a lawyer, and by PRAKSIS for unaccompanied minors with a part-time lawyer. In addition, there are other legal assistance providers that provide legal assistance without a constant physical presence in the CCAC, namely Avocats Sans Fronti\u00e8res, HRLP and I Have Rights.<\/p>\n<p>In the CCAC of Samos there was no doctor of the National Public Health Organisation in mid-March. A mobile infirmary by M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res is located outside the structure. The hospital on the island has no interpreters. An Arabic-language interpreter of the National Public Health Organisation from the CCAC and interpreters from organisations assist the hospital when necessary.
