We have updated our legal information booklet for persons in immigration detention in Turkey and groups at risk of immigration detention. The resource, first launched in September 2016, is made available in 7 languages.
The comprehensive booklet aims to provide accurate and up to date legal information in accessible language, in a questions and answers format, covering the full range of procedures, safeguards and obligations provided by the provisions of Turkey’s Law on Foreigners and International Protection governing detention and expulsion of foreigners. The booklets are made available, in print and digital formats, in Turkish, English, Arabic, Farsi, French, Urdu and Russian. They are intended to inform both persons and groups at risk of immigration detention as well as lawyers and NGO assistance providers seeking to assist them.
The current update takes stock of changes in legislation and implementation since the first development of the booklet back in 2016. This publication was made possible by ECHO funding in the framework of a project partnership with Danish Refugee Council. Digital copies of the booklet can be accessed in multiple languages at the Publications section of our website. For inquiries on printed copies, kindly contact us at [email protected].
