Fifteen children in Mardin prison have no access to medical facilities
Fifteen children in Mardin prison are dealing with health problems according to a Human Rights Association (IHD) Mardin Branch’s report. Each child prisoner have been sentenced to 10 or 15 yeas.
Imprisoned children have become ill because of unhealthy conditions in the prisons. 15 children; including V.B (17), O.Ç (16), I.K (16), S.B (16) and A.G (16), who were already sentenced to approximately five years for each, have been waiting for medical treatment. Those are also waiting for other trials to end. Prosecutors are demanding between 10 and 15 year imprisonment, said in the report.
“Thousands of children in Turkey are being arrested since 2006. Some of them are only 12 years old. They are being accused of being member of an illegal organization because of Anti-Terror Act (TMK). The problem for these children is not only that of been granted a fair trial. They have also to cope with unhealthy conditions in the prisons. 15 children who are victims of TMK have been sick and they are not allowed to have access to medical treatment. Those children need to be released as soon as possible; - the IHD concluded - otherwise the problem based on TMK would be the reason for irrevocable harm for children and their family.”
