No policy regarding the differential treatment of detainees based on nationality was reported in 2022.  In the past, stakeholders reported that some Removal Centres detained specific population groups. Izmir (Harmandal), Kayseri, and Hatay, for instance, detained mixed populations, including irregular migrants and foreign fighters, while Gaziantep primarily detained Syrians categorised as YTS (Foreign Terrorist Fighters).
