<p>Dr. Jeff Handmaker, Board member of the 3R Foundation and lecturer in law, human rights and development at the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) of Erasmus University in The Hague, visited the Helsinki Citizens Assembly (HCA) in Istanbul, Turkey from 5 to 6 July 2010, where he gave workshops for the refugee programme of HCA, reflecting on his earlier experiences with, and research on refugee rights advocacy in South Africa.</p>
<p><span id="more-920"></span></p>
<p>The interactive and critical exchanges that took place with HCA legal officers, legal fellows and interns focussed on the dynamics between different NGOs and other civic organisations, including migrant/refugee-led groups, and the interactions between civic organisations and the government as well as UNHCR.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On  Thursday 22 April 2010, the Refugee Law Project (RLP)  celebrated  10 years of promoting rights of forced migrants. During this time, the  organization  has tremendously transformed from just  providing legal aid to refugees  and asylum seekers to handling issues of Internally  Displaced Persons (IDPs), deportees, and transitional  justice.<br />
<span id="more-649"></span>As part of the celebrations, the RLP produced a  15-minute video highlighting the 10-year journey which was screened at a  dinner at which Prof. Tarsis Kabwegyere, Minister of Relief, Disaster  Preparedness and Refugees in Uganda, was Guest of Honour. This video and recordings  of the various speeches made at the dinner held at Imperial Royale  Hotel in Kampala, Uganda (including one delivered by the RLP founder and 3R foundation instigator,  Prof. Barbara Harrell-Bond), can be <a href="http://www.refugeelawproject.org/video_advocacy.php">viewed on the RLP website</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a way of ensuring that refugees &amp; asylum seekers  maintain a link with their families and friends both back home and those  in countries abroad, the Refugee Law Project (RLP) with support from  friends of the RLP set up a &#8220;free-to-access&#8221; computer  facility with internet.<span id="more-646"></span></p>
<p>This was after the realization of the fact that  refugees &amp; asylum seekers have great difficulties accessing the  internet especially because of the unaffordable costs in the internet  cafes.</p>
<p>Refugees &amp; asylum seekers now have free access to the internet and can also use the  computers to prepare their documents.</p>
<p>Please find attached a piece written about this computer facility with  comments from some of the users of the facility, as well as some photos  of the facility.</p>
<p>For further information please contact <a href="mailto:info@refugeelawproject.org">info@refugeelawproject.org</a> or<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An estimated  100,000 people from 40 countries cross the Turkish border without  identity papers every year. They come from trouble spots like Iraq,  Somalia and Afghanistan, and because they cannot be granted asylum in  Turkey they are in a highly vulnerable situation.</p>
<p><span id="more-147"></span>The Turkish NGO Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly  is trying to safeguard their rights, offering them such things as legal  counseling and information. The organization is also trying to  influence public opinion and to spotlight the refugees’ difficult  situation.</p>
<p>One way of reaching other organizations,  government agencies and the general public is via the journal Refugee  Voices, in which people tell what life as a refugee is like in Turkey.  The journal appears only sporadically because it cannot always afford  the printing costs.</p>
<p>With a view to improving the journal’s  design and publishing approach, Daniel Urey, and Erik Engren from  International Media Network Services, have been cooperating with the  Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly.</p>
<p><a>Refugee Voices &#8211; behind the scenes</a></p>
<p>A group of young refugees who arrived in  Turkey unaccompanied have also taken part in the work. They began by  joining workshops focusing both on the Convention on the Rights of the  Child and on perceptions of human rights in Turkey, and have  subsequently been involved in the magazine work.</p>
<p>“These young people haven’t simply been  interviewees – they have been behind the camera and produced material,”  Urey says. “They’ve been incredibly dedicated and it’s been great to see  how keen they’ve been to express themselves.”</p>
<p>As a result of the project the last issue of  “Refugee Voices” can now  be downloaded as a PDF file with both text and moving images.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Homo’s, lesbiennes, biseksuelen en transseksuelen (LGBT) behoren tot de meest kwetsbare groep asielzoekers en vluchtelingen in Turkije. Na ontsnapt te zijn aan vervolging in eigen land, worden ze in Turkije opnieuw geconfronteerd met een oneerlijke behandeling, intimidatie en geweld.</p>
<p><span id="more-529"></span></p>
<p>Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Turkije heeft samen met Refuge Asylum &amp; Migration een rapport gepubliceerd over de positie van LGBT vluchtelingen in Turkije.</p>
<p><strong>Unsafe Haven: The Security Challenges Facing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Turkey – July 09</strong></p>
<p>Het rapport is gebaseerd op 46 diepte-interviews met LGBT-asielzoekers en vluchtelingen. De meeste vluchtelingen komen uit Iran. Hun getuigenissen werpen licht op ernstige gebreken in hun bescherming. Er is sprake van gewelddadige intimidatie door de lokale gemeenschap en andere vluchtelingen, een gebrek aan voldoende politiebescherming, een intensieve ondervraging tijdens de asielprocedure en belemmering bij het vinden van huisvesting, werk en onderwijs. In het rapport worden een aantal praktische aanbevelingen gedaan om te komen tot een goede bescherming van LGBT-asielzoekers en vluchtelingen en te zorgen voor gelijke sociale en economische rechten.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stichting 3R is per 1 maart 2009 een driejarig project gestart ter versterking van de rechtshulpverlening aan vluchtelingen in Turkije.</p>
<p><span id="more-527"></span>Turkije heeft geen asielwetgeving. Het land is wel partner in het Verdrag van Geneve, maar heeft een uitzonderingsclausule. Gevolg is dat het land alleen asielzoekers opneemt als ze uit Europa komen. Dit lijkt vreemd, maar komt doordat het verdrag tot stand is gekomen vlak na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.  Turkije bood toen onderdak aan vluchtelingen uit Europa. Tegenwoordig gebruiken veel vluchtelingen uit Irak, Iran, Afghanistan en Somalië Turkije als doorgangsland. Asielprocedures lopen via de UNHCR die een vertegenwoordiging heeft in Ankara, maar de procedure duurt lang,  is ingewikkeld en onzeker. Hetzelfde geldt  voor de procedure voor tijdelijk asiel in Turkije. Eén van de problemen is dat er te weinig rechtshulpverleners zijn om de vraag aan juridische bijstand te kunnen voldoen.</p>
<p>Het doel van het project is de juridische bescherming van asielzoekers en vluchtelingen in Turkije te versterken. Door middel van een train-de-trainers programma worden zowel bestaande als nieuwe asieladvocaten opgeleid en gecoacht. Deze advocaten adviseren en vertegenwoordigen asielzoekers en vluchtelingen bij de UNHCR en het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken. Tenslotte wordt er door een werkgroep gewerkt aan een witboek inzake een uitgebreid publiek systeem op het gebied van rechtshulpverlening aan vluchtelingen.  In Nederland opgedane kennis en ervaring wordt gebruikt bij het opzetten van het train-de-trainers programma en het ontwikkelen van het witboek.</p>
<p>Stichting 3R werkt binnen dit project samen met het Helsinki Citizens’Assembly in Turkije. HCA-Turkije is verantwoordelijk voor de uitvoering van het project in Turkije. Stichting 3R zorgt voor de Nederlandse expertise.</p>
<p>Het project wordt financieel ondersteund door het Matra Programma van het ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.</p>
