Cebrail Gündoğdu tortured by police in Menemen sent to prison

Cebrail Gündoğdu, who was detained and tortured by the police in Menemen, a district of Izmir, was sent to prison.

Cebrail Gündoğdu, who was detained by the Turkish police on 22 October in Izmir’s Menemen district, was sent to prison. Gündoğdu, who was tortured by the police after he was detained, used his right to remain silent in the police station due to the torture and ill-treatment he suffered.

Gündoğdu was brought to the courthouse in reverse handcuffs on Wednesday at the prosecutor's request for his arrest.

Gündoğdu talked about the torture and ill-treatment he suffered in the police station at the Criminal Judgeship of Peace on Duty. He said that he did not know why he was detained because there was a confidentiality order in his file, and demanded his acquittal.

Gündoğdu's lawyers demanded that the marks of assault found on Gündoğdu's body and face be recorded in the report and a criminal complaint be filed against those responsible.

The judge, rejecting the lawyers' demands, sent Gündoğdu to prison.
