An alarming number of migrant children in Greece, including many unaccompanied minors, are being detained in deplorable and depraved conditions, says a scathing new report by Human Rights Watch. They are being forced to live in "filthy, bug-and-vermin-infested cells" for weeks or even months, far beyond the 25 days allowed under Greek law.
