Guards torture prisoner in Sincan jail for moving his bunk bed

Hakan Tunç, a prisoner in Sincan Prison, was tortured by the guards because he moved his bunk bed.

Prisoner Hakan Tunç is in Sincan High Security Prison. He was tortured by the guards for moving his unstable bunk bed.

Tunç moved his bunk bed in order to be able to read more easily. He was told nothing for some 20 days, but he was tortured by the guards after the morning count held on 31 July.

Tunç stated that the chief officer who came to his cell during the meeting with his lawyer said to him, "You are a prisoner, you can’t make any change" and that the guard then punched him, and took him to the sponge cell.

Tunç requested a report of assault, but has not yet been able to access the content of the doctor's report. He filed a criminal complaint on the attack.
