The members of the Prison Commission of the Istanbul Branch of the Human Rights Association (IHD) held the 655th of their weekly "F sit-in" action in front of the association building in Beyoğlu. In this week's action, attention was drawn to the health condition of Hatice Onaran, a member of the Board of Directors of the Istanbul Branch of the Human Rights Association (IHD), who was arrested on 10 October on the grounds that she sent money to prisoners, and was sent to the Gebze Women's Closed Prison. The action was attended by the co-spokesperson of the Peoples' Democratic Congress (HDK) Cengiz Çiçek, IHD co-chair Eren Keskin and many rights defenders.

This week's statement was made by the Cengiz Çiçek who said: "Hatice Onaran, aged 60, has advanced scoliosis and colon cancer in the lumbar vertebrae and has a 79 percent disability report. She should be released immediately."
