The release of Mehmet Kınat, who has been in jail for 30 years in Patnos L Type Closed Prison, was postponed due to the claim that he was not "behaving well," despite having completed his sentence.

Detained in Şirnak in 1994, Kınat was sentenced to life imprisonment by the State Security Court (DGM) on the charge of "disrupting the unity and integrity of the state" after being detained for days.

Kınat, who completed his conditional release process after 30 years, stated in a phone conversation with his family that his release was postponed for 3 months. He added that the Prison Administrative and Monitoring Board (IGK) prevented his release by claiming that he was not "behaving well."

It was learned that Mehmet Kınat suffers from diseases such as diabetes, stomach, and herniated disc.
