There is no information suggesting that specific nationalities are being more susceptible to detention or systematically detained or that specific nationalities stay longer in detention in practice.

However, AYS reported that applicants for international protection who visited their Integration Centre, reported to them in October 2022, that approximately ten person who were previously accommodated in the Reception Centre for Applicants of International protection were detained. Allegedly, according to applicants who approached AYS, detention decisions were preceded by numerous discriminatory actions of the staff of the Reception Centre for Applicants of International Protection.[1]
