 On 21 September 2016 Greece denied three out of the eight asylum.The men's lawyer Stavroula Tomara said they would be appealing the decision and said they had the "impression that the decision has been predetermined, and that the interview was conducted just as a formality.” On 11 October 2016 four more of the eight were denied asylum.Two of the men who had previously been denied asylum applied for a re-evaluation but their applications were also rejected.
