Minister of Justice Visits Migration Centers Under Development in Limnes and Menogia

The Minister of Justice and Public Order, Kostas Fytiris, inspected the progress of work at the Pre-Departure Detention Center for Migrants in Limnes, as well as the existing facilities of the Detention Center for Migrants in Menogia. Upon completion of the works in Limnes, detainees from Menogia will be transferred to the new facilities. The facilities in Menogia are planned to be used to create a detention space for minors, with specially designed infrastructure for the operation of detention and juvenile prisons. Alternative uses are also being considered for the facilities, as part of a broader effort to strengthen prison infrastructure and decongest the Central Prisons. Upgrading the prison infrastructure is a priority for the state, with the aim of a modern and effective system that respects rights.
