Criminal Procedure Law safeguards victims and children
The new Criminal Procedure Law No. 172 of 2025 provides guarantees to protect victims and children during the investigative stage. The law stipulates the possibility of temporarily admitting the victim who suffers from a psychological or mental disorder into a healthcare facility for treatment, especially if they are a victim of a criminal assault. This is to be done in accordance with legal and humanitarian standards in line with the Mental Health Care Law. Additionally, the law grants the right to summon parents or guardians and social workers to be present during the investigation. It also permits the recording of children's statements either audio-visually or in other forms and their preservation to prevent repeated questioning, aiming to protect children's rights and minimize psychological trauma during investigation procedures.
