TikTok Influencer Reveals Reasons for Self-Requested Expulsion from Turkey

Contrary to what some might think, Hafsa Abhih’s expulsion is not the result of an arbitrary decision by the Turkish authorities, she said. The young woman herself requested her departure, motivated by fears of retaliation related to the opening of her beauty center. "I preferred to leave to avoid other problems," she confided. This decision was formalized by the signing of an expulsion document for a period of three months, she says.

Hafsa Abhih claims that she had the possibility to stay in Istanbul. Her lawyers had even offered her to find a solution so that she could continue her life in Turkey. But the young woman declined this offer, preferring to return to her country of origin with her husband. "What I went through was too difficult," she added, without going into the details of this case.

To recall, Hafsa Abhih had opened her beauty institute in Istanbul a few weeks ago. But the joy of this new adventure was short-lived. The Turkish authorities quickly intervened, putting an end to her illegal activities.
