Kaçar has been released Thursday afternoon after being held overnight in the Sulaymaniyah Local Security Forces (Asayish).
Hasan Kaçar from North Kurdistan (south-eastern Turkey) was deported together with his wife and two kids by the KDP Hewler asayish on November 23.
The Kaçar family set up a tent outside the UN office in Sulaymaniyah to protest the mistreatment they were subjected to.
