98% disabled prisoner released after spending 6 years in jail
Serdal Yıldırım is 98% disabled. He has been held captive in Metris R Type Prison for 6 years, and was finally released after many delays.
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.
