Greece: Concerns over continued abuses by the security forces and the situation of migrants and asylum-seekers

These include concerns about excessive use of force and other violations in the policing of demonstrations and ill-treatment during arrest or detention. Moreover, the organisation continues to receive allegations of excessive use of force and ill-treatment of protesters during arrest or detention; and of asylum-seekers and migrants during immigration sweep and detention operations by police.
