Foreigner Registration Centre (FRC) | Kybartai

MSF staff are not able to access the FRC, after a principled suspension of activities following unacceptable restrictions placed upon our work in May 2022. The photo was taken during this subsequent period, by an individual held within the centre. MSF teams have been conducting virtual outreach and mapping, as well as providing remote mental health support to the people detained in Kybartai.

Additional Information / Shotlist As of August 2022, out of 184 men who were being held in Kybartai FRC 97 were detained with no freedom of movement or ability to leave the centre. According to national legislation, such detention is restricted to one year and can be extended to 18 months on a case-by-case basis.
