Vibe Klarup addressed the State of Emergency decree-laws, press freedom, the situations of Osman Kavala and Selahattin Demirtaş, and the Istanbul Convention. Prof. Johan Vande Lanotte presented the work of the Turkey Tribunal and discussed allegations of torture.

Vonya Womack highlighted challenges faced by people seeking asylum in Denmark from Turkey, including long waiting periods for decisions. Together, the contributions connected the rule of law, fair-trial rights, press freedom, allegations of torture, and asylum rights within a single program.
