Heinrich Böll Stiftung Turkey awards a project grant to Refugee Rights Turkey, which will allow RRT to further strengthen existing services for particularly vulnerable asylum seekers and bolster capacity to pursue advocacy efforts at international level. The initial first-phase of the project, to be completed by the end of the year, will see RRT dedicate additional staff resources to legal assistance activities benefitting particularly vulnerable asylum seekers, and deliver a Legal Opinion Paper tackling specific questions and recommendations concerning the judicial review of immigration detention in Turkey. The cooperation framework is also set to support RRT’s advocacy work and interactions at European level.
