Serdal Yıldırım was held captive in Istanbul Metris R Type Closed Prison for 6 years despite not being able to continue his life on his own.

Yıldırım was paralyzed from the waist down after suffering a traffic accident in 2009. He had more than 30 platinum pieces attached to many parts of his body. Although Yıldırım, who lives in a wheelchair, was given reports stating that he “could not stay in prison”, his release was prevented on arbitrary grounds.

Yıldırım was eventually released from prison after 6 years.
