Background
Amygdaleza detention center (Greek: Κέντρο κράτησης Αμυγδαλέζας) is a center for detaining undocumented immigrants, situated in Amygdaleza of Acharnes, Attica in Greece. In March 2012 the Ministry of Citizen Protection announced the establishment of thirty "centers for the temporary detention of undocumented immigrants". The following month Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis announced that the first center would operate in Amygdaleza, Attica, with initial planning for 820 immigrants in a space comprising 250 containerized housing units, fenced internally and surrounded externally by a wall and bars. According to Chrisochoidis, the immigrants would be detained for a few weeks and then be deported to their countries. The first immigrants were transferred to Amygdaleza in the end of April 2012.
