Two Rojhilat refugees, who were among the 144 refugees detained near the port of Muğla's Marmaris district on 15 December, are facing deportation to Iran. While 140 of the detained refugees have been released because they have residence documents, 4 Iranian refugees are still held in the removal center in Ula district.

Lawyers who went to GGM and met with refugees on Monday announced that Kurdish political activists Shawgar Mohammadi and Hossein Menbari (Amanj) would be deported. Kurdish political activists risk execution for publicizing rights violations against Kurds in Iran.

The lawyers stated that they will initiate the necessary actions to stop the refoulement due to the danger of death.
