Medine Esmer, the mother of Imran Esmer, who is being held in solitary confinement at Suluca No. 1 High Security Prison, applied to the Human Rights Association concerned about her son’s condition.
After being arrested in Edirne on 9 June 2022, Imran Esmer was taken to Adana Kürkçüler F Type Closed Prison. Esmer was transferred to Suluca No. 1 High Security Prison in the same city 2 months ago. Esmer is being held in solitary confinement, serving a 6 years and 3 months’ sentence for "being a member of an illegal organization".
Esmer’s file is still at the Supreme Court of Appeals, and his mother, Medine Esmer, is protesting the fact that her son is being held in solitary confinement.
"One hour a day of fresh air"
Medine Esmer applied to the Human Rights Association (IHD) Amed Branch denouncing the violation of rights her son experienced, and requesting legal assistance. She told MA news agency that her son was being held in a solitary cell despite the fact that his sentence was not approved, and added that she went to her son’s open visit on 12 August. Medine Esmer said: "My son cannot see or talk to anyone there. Again, from the first day he was taken to prison until last week, he was allowed to see his friends for one hour a day."
The woman continued: "Even if my son dies there, no one will know. I am very worried about my son’s condition. He shares the same corridor with ISIS prisoners. The fact that my son is in an isolation cell by himself is seriously affecting his psychology and worries us."
