Deportation of Persons under Temporary Protection According to Article 54/1-d of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection Numbered 6458

Development summary

In the context of the large-scale asylum movement to Türkiye that followed the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic in 2011 and the Temporary Protection Regulation adopted in 2014, this article addresses the deportation of persons under temporary protection under Article 54/1-d of Law No. 6458 on the basis of public order, public security or public health. Esra Tekin focuses on whether beneficiaries of temporary protection who have been the subject of a criminal investigation or prosecution may be deported merely on that basis, and on what follows for deportation when criminal proceedings end in acquittal or a decision not to prosecute, using judicial decisions to clarify those issues.
