Ryan Keating, a Christian PhD student in the department of Philosophy of Religion at Ankara University has requested prayer for his situation as his residency has been cancelled and he has been issued with an entry ban into Turkey. On 17 October Ryan returned to Turkey after a week-long trip abroad. At the airport, police took him into custody and told him that he had been issued with a life-long entry ban into Turkey. No explanation was given as to the reason for the ban despite Ryan asking for information. Ryan had Turkish residency because of his enrolment at Ankara University. Ryan’s wife Ness and their children remain in Ankara, and it is not known if their residency has also been cancelled. Ryan was involved with the Ankara Refugee Ministry and is a member of Kurtulus Church. It is believed the entry ban is related to these activities, which are completely legal.
