Council of Europe anti-torture body urges Türkiye on mental health law and child protections
Original: Anti-torture committee calls for comprehensive mental-health law and protections for foreign-national children in Türkiye
The Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture has called on Türkiye to adopt a comprehensive mental-health law and to strengthen safeguards for foreign-national children in custody or care. The committee's recommendations follow a visit to the country and address gaps in detention conditions and the treatment of vulnerable groups, pressing Ankara to bring its practices into line with European human-rights standards.
Why now: The committee's newly published recommendations put fresh pressure on Türkiye over its treatment of detainees and migrant children.
