Sources confirm what human rights groups have been saying for weeks: Turkish police are targeting Afghan migrants with excessive force. Documents leaked to this newsroom show a systematic pattern of beatings, arbitrary detentions, and forced deportations that violate international law. British organisations, including Amnesty International UK and the Refugee Council, have condemned the violence, calling on Ankara to halt what they describe as a 'campaign of terror' against vulnerable people.
One internal police report, dated last month, details how officers used batons and tear gas on a group of 50 Afghan men, women, and children near the Iranian border. The migrants were seeking asylum. Instead, they got broken bones and contaminated water.
The Turkish government denies the allegations, pointing to 'necessary measures' against illegal crossings. But the evidence tells a different story. This is not about border control.
This is about power, impunity, and the ugly reality of a state that sees refugees as disposable.
