The AKP-MHP government, which used the Covid pandemic as an excuse to put pressure on political prisoners and stripping them of all their rights, is now trying to put pressure on them by using the economic crisis as an excuse.

The Ministry of Justice, which didn’t allow books and newspapers in Muğla/Bodrum S Type Prison, started to apply different pressure methods.

The four-course meals were reduced to two. Objections to meals without vitamins and protein are rejected by the prison authorities, who said that "there is a policy of austerity due to the economic crisis, there is nothing to be done".

Ill prisoners are not treated

According to the information received by ANF from political prisoners themselves, ill prisoner Gürbüz Topçu needs to be treated in Istanbul or Ankara. Kutbettin Menteş, who is suffering from hypertension, is kept in solitary confinement. Despite all their requests, the prisoners were not taken to a triple cell. Liver cancer Ali Haydar Ildiz is also not receiving treatment.

Newly arrived political prisoners are also under pressure to move to 'independent wards'. Political prisoners who refuse are left to the wards after being strip searched.

Prisoners called on everyone to show sensitivity.
