75-year-old bedridden Süleyman Sabri Mavi, who is living in Yüksekova, suffered a heart attack while being detained after the Court of Cassation approved his 8-year, 9-month prison sentence.
75-year-old bedridden Süleyman Sabri Mavi fell ill while being detained by police at his home on the evening of 10 August and was immediately taken to the District State Hospital. Doctors stated that Mavi was in mortal danger and informed his family that his condition was critical.
Mavi, who is visually and hearing impaired and bedridden due to organ failure, is being treated at the hospital. It was learned that he will be transferred to the Van High Security Prison when his health condition allows.
Süleyman Sabri Mavi was tried in Yüksekova (Gever), in the province of Hakkari (Colemerg) in 2012 on charges of "membership of an illegal organization" within the scope of the "KCK" investigation and was sentenced to 8 years and 9 months in prison. The Court of Cassation 3rd Criminal Chamber recently approved the decision of the local court in 2019.
In the same case, 24 people, including politicians, were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 8 to 17 years, and these sentences were also approved by the Supreme Court.
