INTERVIEW FORM 2: FOR NGOS, LAWYERS, RELIGIOUS PERSONNEL WHO ENTER<br />

<strong>CIE</strong>*<br />

*A similar albeit modified version <strong>of</strong> this interview form will be used for researchers and<br />

journalists working on the issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>CIE</strong>.<br />

The <strong>International</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Turin</strong> (IUC) in association with Associazione per gli Studi Giuridici<br />

sull’immigrazione (ASGI) is conducting a study on the conditions for migrants in the centre for identification<br />

and expulsion (<strong>CIE</strong>) in <strong>Turin</strong>. This study is being conducted as part <strong>of</strong> a clinical legal training program, which<br />

is a program run by the <strong>International</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Turin</strong> in cooperation with the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Turin</strong><br />

and Eastern Piedmont <strong>University</strong> in Alessandria.<br />

The research is limited to experiences <strong>of</strong> detention that occurred in <strong>Turin</strong> from January 2011 to June 2012.<br />

The objective is to investigate and analyse whether the treatment <strong>of</strong> immigration detainees in <strong>Turin</strong>’s <strong>CIE</strong><br />

meets Italian, European and international human rights standards. The project also aims to inquire into<br />

systemic and individual problems faced by detainees, their families and people who work in <strong>CIE</strong>s.<br />

The project began in January 2012 and it will be developed by collecting and presenting diverse insights into<br />

the situation in the <strong>CIE</strong>. A qualitative survey will be composed <strong>of</strong> questionnaires and interviews aiming to<br />

discover holistic information about experiences <strong>of</strong> immigration detention in <strong>Turin</strong>. We will be investigating<br />

issues relating to human rights law as well as broader socio-legal issues including mental health, the effects<br />

<strong>of</strong> separation from family, experiences <strong>of</strong> language barriers and any hurdles faced to accessing legal<br />

assistance or in understanding the Italian legal framework.<br />
