Refugee Rights Turkey held a specialization seminar for lawyers in Ankara on 23 December 2016 in collaboration with the provincial bar association, as part of RRT’s efforts to support local bar associations to strengthen expertise and operational capabilities to serve asylum seekers and detained migrants. The 1-day seminar focused on the content and implications of the amendments enacted by the Emergency Decree No:676 in the provisions of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection governing deportation practices. The seminar was organized in the framework of the project currently implemented by RRT in affiliation with Refugee Solidarity Network. The event received a lot of interest from Ankara-based lawyers, including lawyers currently involved in the delivery of the bar association’s state-funded legal aid services for asylum seekers and migrants.
