The applicant requested the lifting of detention, to be allowed to leave the Closed Controlled Access Center of Samos, claiming that due to the ban on his exit from the centre, without the issuance of a relevant decision, all the activities that he had developed during his two-year stay in Samos and which allowed him to maintain a sense of normalcy and mental balance were overturned. In support of his claim, he submitted, inter alia, a medical opinion of the General Hospital of Samos - Samos Mental Health Center, of 6 December 2021, which confirmed anxiety symptoms due to reported traumatic events in his country of origin and difficult living conditions in the centre and he was prescribed medication.

In the absence of a decision issued by the Police as envisaged in the law, the court considered that the Commander of the Closed Controlled Access Center of Samos illegally took the measure in question (exit ban) and ordered the lifting of the exit ban from the Closed Controlled Centre of Samos.
