Decision text
This page is an English editorial summary. The official decision is published in Turkish and remains the controlling source.
Case note
The applicant went to an immigration office to apply for a residence permission. The authorities identified multiple records under different names, opened a criminal investigation and later ordered deportation and six months of administrative detention.
The remedy identified in the decision
The decision explains that an objection to administrative detention is made to the competent criminal judgeship of peace under Article 57 of Law No. 6458. The Constitutional Court emphasised the need for an effective review of a measure that deprives a person of liberty.
Why this matters to a foreign resident
A person held in administrative detention should obtain the written decisions, preserve the dates and notification records, and identify the correct objection route without delay. A later compensation claim is not automatically a substitute for challenging the detention through the designated review mechanism.
The Court’s official record identifies the complaint as a violation of the right to liberty and security and awarded non-pecuniary compensation. This does not determine whether every detention or deportation decision is unlawful.
