Hold­ing for­eign­ers ex­cluded from tem­por­ary pro­tec­tion without a de­ten­tion order: A de facto depriva­tion of liberty

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Neva Övünç Öztürk and Bariş Teksoy ex­am­ine, in light of the right to liberty and se­cur­ity, the prac­tice of hold­ing for­eign­ers ex­cluded from tem­por­ary pro­tec­tion under Art­icle 8(3) and (5) of the Tem­por­ary Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion in tem­por­ary ac­com­mod­a­tion centres or places des­ig­nated by gov­ernor­ships without an ad­min­is­trat­ive de­ten­tion order. Al­though the ex­clu­sion de­cision is no­ti­fied to the person con­cerned, the au­thors note that no writ­ten, reasoned and re­view­able de­cision is re­quired for the hold­ing itself, which is not linked to the ad­min­is­trat­ive de­ten­tion pro­vi­sions of Law No. 6458.
