46 Days of Captivity – Çankırı: The End of The World is a rare and unvarnished testimony from inside one of Turkey’s migrant detention centres—facilities that remain largely hidden from public scrutiny yet are, directly or indirectly, funded and overseen by the European Union.

The author, stripped of Turkish citizenship in an abrupt and unlawful political move linked to tensions between Ankara and Tehran, was suddenly reclassified as an “illegal migrant” and detained for 46 days. In that time, he witnessed a system where the law was not merely ignored but rendered meaningless, and where the erosion of human dignity was part of daily life.

This book exposes:

Systemic human rights violations – A detailed, factual account of the abuse, neglect, and degrading treatment faced by detainees under a regime of impunity.

Psychological torment and deprivation – How constant uncertainty, overcrowding, and denial of basic needs inflict lasting mental harm.

Hidden realities behind EU migration policy – Insight into the quiet complicity of European institutions that fund, equip, and indirectly endorse these centres.

Personal survival in a system designed to silence – A deeply personal chronicle of endurance, truth-telling, and bearing witness when silence is the safer choice.

Drawing on documented records, verifiable facts, and vivid first-hand observation, 46 Days of Captivity goes beyond political debate—it is an evidence-based indictment of a system operating above the law, presented without exaggeration or omission.

This work is written with a single purpose: to shed light on what is being done in Europe’s name, in facilities where countless others remain voiceless.
