The plan comes after the UNHCR called on Greece's government to take action to address overcrowding and poor conditions at refugee camps.
The Greek government is planning to use"emergency" legal powers to expedite plans to build detention centers for migrants and asylum seekers across five islands.
Expanding on past reporting regarding Greece's plan to build detention centers across Greek islands, Petsas said the"closed facilities" would be"governed by strict rules and [limitations] for movement for the occupants." However, UNHCR had specifically called for the government to use its powers to expedite plans to transfer migrants and asylum seekers from the overcrowded islands to the mainland—not to speed up the construction of island-based detention centers.In a statement on Friday, UNHCR spokesperson Andrej Mahecic described how, in recent weeks, the situation on Lesbos has grown increasingly desperate.
Now, Mahecic said:"It is critical that other regions in Greece step up their solidarity to help alleviate pressures by receiving transferred asylum seekers and opening up reception places. Continued European resources, capacity and solidarity are also needed to boost Greece's response."
