Refugee Rights Turkey held a specialization seminar for lawyers on 22 April 2017 in collaboration with Edirne Bar Association. The seminar was organized in the framework of the project currently implemented by RRT in affiliation with Refugee Solidarity Network. The 1-day seminar focused on legal grounds and procedural provisions governing deportation and detention practices under the Law on Foreigners and International Protection as well as safeguards and remedies available to persons involved. The province of Edirne, situated by Turkey’s land borders with Greece and Bulgaria, is a particularly significant key migration location as site to frequent border interceptions as well one of Turkey’s largest removal centers. RRT is strongly committed to supporting the Edirne Bar Association in offering expertise support to local lawyers atttending to the particularly challenging detention case load in the province.
