At least 45 episodes of self-harm, protests and suicide attempts have been reported since the start of the operation of the Repatriation Center in Gjadra, a structure established within the framework of the agreement between the Albanian and Italian governments. According to data collected from unofficial sources and visits by MPs, the center has received around 80 people in recent months, however official figures are missing, and not even parliamentarians can access them.
The testimonies of those who have entered the center describe a disturbing psychological reality. The most frequent questions from detainees are “what day is it?” and “what time is it?”, a sign of a loss of sense of time and reality. Italian media report that the use of psychotropic drugs has severely affected the mental state of detainees. The center is described as a clean, sterile structure, but similar to a dystopia where the lack of communication and deep isolation create severe psychological conditions.
Although the facility is new and infrastructurally sound, it remains out of the public eye and the media. Visits by MPs and MEPs are rare and often face deliberate delays in entry. Located 55 kilometers from Tirana airport and 22 kilometers from the coast, the center in Gjadra has become an invisible institution, but with serious human consequences for the detainees living inside it.
In the absence of official data and institutional transparency, open questions remain about the nature of treatment and respect for human rights in this center that has begun to attract increasing international attention.
