‘Unacceptable for people’: Danish asylum centre slammed in anti-torture report (The Local, link):

“The committee called the centre at Ellebæk in North Zealand “unacceptable for people”.

…The report is based on visits to Ellebæk and other detention centres including Nykøbing Falster Arrest.

Both facilities house migrants who are under arrest based on Denmark’s immigration laws (Udlændingeloven), but not for committing crimes.”
