The resolution condemns Turkey’s targeted expulsions of foreign journalists and Christians under national security pretenses, violating press freedom and religious rights. These actions lack due process, with arbitrary security codes like N-82 and G-87 used to justify deportations without evidence. Journalists such as Kaveh Taheri face detention and expulsion despite no transparent legal basis. The EU urges Turkey to halt these practices, restore permits, and align its laws with European human rights standards. Persistent abuses may lead to targeted measures within the accession process.
