UN Rapporteurs Warn Turkey Against Deporting Iranian Rights Defender
UN rapporteurs have cautioned Turkey against deporting an Iranian human rights defender who faces a potential death sentence.
Background
Turkey hosts a significant number of refugees and asylum seekers, including individuals fleeing persecution from neighboring countries like Iran. International law, including the principle of non-refoulement, prohibits countries from returning individuals to a place where they would face torture or other irreparable harm. Human rights organizations frequently monitor Turkey's adherence to these protections.
