Hacer Tayfur, mother of Bülent Mengeş, an ill prisoner in Kırklareli E-Type jail, made a press statement about her son's health at the Human Rights Association (IHD) Istanbul Branch. Lawyer Davut Aslan from the IHD Prison Commission attended the meeting.

Bülent Mengeş was arrested in 2015 for a criminal offense. His mother said that her son was subjected to psychological pressure in prison and was not treated.

Tayfur said that she tried to ensure his treatment and medication were given regularly, but added that her attempts were inconclusive. "I don't want my son to die in prison. I want my son to be released and treated."

Prison Commission member Davut Aslan stated that Mengeş's condition was getting worse since he was not treated.
