UN Urges Turkey to Avoid Longer Prison Terms for Minors
The United Nations called on Turkey to amend the recent legislative amendments approved by Parliament in August, which included harsher prison sentences for minors aged 12 to 18, and restrictions on their rights by placing them in closed institutions and transferring them to educational centers based on assessments. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern about some of the proposals that conflict with Turkey's commitments to children's rights, emphasizing that imprisoning children should be a last resort and for the shortest possible duration, while taking care to ensure conformity with international human rights law.
