Civil society organisations launch petition against the expansion of the Closed Controlled Access Centre model

Go back to the Recent Developments Timeline

In April 2025, the organisations  Collective Aid and Samos Volunteers started a petition against the Closed Controlled Access Centre (CCAC) system in Greece. The organisations oppose the construction of a new CCAC facility in Vastria, Lesvos. According to the petition, the already operational centres on Lesvos, Samos and other Aegean islands are part of a system of containment and exclusion rather than providing safe, humane reception conditions.
