What conditions must be provided and how should you be treated during detention in an asylum context?
If you are detained by the police, you can be held in a temporary place of detention only for a short period of time before you are transferred to the State border guards. As your stay there will be very short, this section will not focus on the conditions in a temporary place of detention at the police department.
When detained by the State Agency for Refugees, you should be placed in special premises or a special closed-type centre.
You have the right to humane conditions in the place where you are being held, medical help, as well as the right to communicate with the outside world.
