Turkish students who were denied visas have started winning their cases against Italy
Turkish students facing visa rejections from Italy have begun winning legal cases, with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court ruling in favor of students who were denied educational visas. Despite acceptance from Italian universities, many students were initially rejected due to reasons like 'asylum risk' and 'financial insufficiency.' The students organized protests and took legal action, leading to some receiving their visas after court rulings. The issue has reached the Italian Parliament, with calls for resolving the visa crisis and ensuring educational rights. The Italian Foreign Ministry attributes the delays to a surge in visa applications, while the Italian Left Party highlights the risk to Italy's values and international agreements.
