Although in 2021 and 2022 the citizens of Afghanistan, Yemen, Iran, Somalia and Syria were often released from detention centres, based on a decision of the Head of the Office for Foreigners within 2-4-month time limit.[1] In the second half of 2021 (from July to December), 324 asylum seekers were released from the detention centre.
