📅 Join us at the @hhc_helsinki's webinar: "Access to classified data in national security related immigration cases" with @ecre & @hfhrpl
Online, 17 October 09:00-15:00 CET
@RomainLanneau will present on "Access to classified data through Law Enforcement Directive." 🧵
🧵1/ When individuals are told that the information leading to their #detention & exclusion is secret, they have no meaningful way to challenge these decisions.
That's why we are looking for ways to combat this #secrecy in immigration & asylum processes
✅ We have extended the deadline for our questionnaire to 30 April!
As a reminder, this questionnaire will help us ensure the right to an effective remedy for asylum & immigration cases that face unjust decisions based on "secret" information.
It is available in 9* languages ⤵️
🚨 The deadline for our questionnaire is next Wednesday 17 April!
We still need more information to combat this issue - which has severe consequences for #immigration & #asylum cases across the #EU.
