Detention of migrants
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) published a report about the impact of the current detention system on the mental health and wellbeing of migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Greece. The report presents data from psychological counselling sessions as well as individual testimonies. It shows that detention can exacerbate existing problems and contribute to new traumas and psychological distress.
