Aegean NGO Network publishes monitoring update on conditions in Closed Controlled Access Centres

In October 2025, Aegean NGO Network (ANN) released its first monitoring update on conditions in the EU-funded Closed Controlled Access Centres (C.C.A.C.s) on Lesvos, Samos, Chios, Kos and Leros. According to the accompanying press release: “drawing on evidence from 11 independent organisations, the update highlights systemic failures across the reception system, including the collapse of official interpretation services, serious gaps in healthcare, and frequent last-minute transfers and evictions.”
