Prisoner Abdullah Ecer talked about the inhumane practices in Espiye Prison, and said: "We want a human rights delegation to closely monitor the violations we are subjected to here."

Abdullah Ecer (52) is a prisoner in Giresun Espiye L Type Closed jail. Talking to his wife, Neval Ecer, about the violations of rights in prison, he said that many prisoners are being prevented from being released even though they have served their sentence if they don’t prove they feel "remorse".

Ecer said that the prisoners are subjected to intra-oral searches during hospital referrals and added that even basic things, like a tea samovar are not given. Ecer said: “We are subjected to inhumane practices. We want a human rights delegation to closely monitor the violations of human rights going on here."
