Danish Refugee Council

Detained asylum seekers

Counselling for detained
As a detained asylum seeker you have a right to personal legal counselling from the Danish Refugee Council, even if your application for asylum has been rejected. When you speak with the Danish National Police, you can inform them that you wish to speak to the Danish Refugee Council. You can also ask the prison staff to contact us if you wish for assistance. We regularly visit the prison in Ellebæk, where we assist everyone who requests it.
