There is no information suggesting that specific nationalities are more susceptible to detention or systematically detained, nor that specific nationalities stay longer in detention in practice.

However, Centre for Peace Studies reported that in November 2022, they began to receive inquiries indicating that a large number of Chechens, of whom a large number were applicants for international protection and who were previously accommodated in the Reception Centre for Applicants for International Protection, were detained in the Reception Centre for Foreigners for unknown reasons and that were at risk of deportation.[1]
