In the case of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers, placed in public custody, the provisions of Law 270 of 2018, Regarding Asylum in the Republic of Moldova, art.14, according to which the minor seeking asylum or accompanied or unaccompanied, is protected and receives appropriate assistance in order to enjoy all the rights recognized by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights conventions to which the Republic of Moldova is part. Unaccompanied minors are subject to measures to protect children at risk and children separated from their parents, in accordance with the legislation in force in the Republic of Moldova. Unaccompanied minors on the territory of the Republic of Moldova are protected by Law no. 140 on the special protection of children at risk and children separated from their parents. In the period 2018-2019, a citizen of Bangladesh was placed at TPCF, who declared himself a minor after his placement. Initially, in the placement lists, the person was registered with the year of birth 1995, and later declared that he was born in 2002. In November 2018, the minor applied for asylum, gaining the status of asylum seeker. On 22 November 2018, the LCA notified the BMA of the detention of an unaccompanied minor, an asylum seeker, and requested that measures be taken to protect children at risk and children separated from their parents. In turn, the BMA and the LCA notified the Chisinau Municipal Directorate for the Protection of the Rights of the Child in Chisinau in ensuring the fundamental rights of the child and the immediate placement of the minor in the alternative care service in accordance with Law 140. LCA filed a lawsuit in court. The lawyers' request was admitted, and the minor released. Thus, the minor was in detention until February 28, 2019. The rights guaranteed to minors in detention were not respected. It seems that the authorities need additional procedures for determining the age of minors. For now, this exercise would have failed. 52
