In , the European Court of Human Rights grouped together a total of eight applications, all concerning the living conditions of asylum seekers with severe health problems in the Reception and Identification Centres (R.I.C., commonly referred to as 鈥渉otspots鈥) on the Greek islands of Kos, Lesvos, Samos and Chios.
