Speaking to ANF, Kamuran Tanhan, one of the DEM Party's lawyer MPs, said that the efforts of the Turkish government, which maintains Kurdish hostility as a permanent policy, to rapprochement with the Damascus administration stem from the desire to suppress the Rojava Revolution and leave the Kurdish people without status.

Stating that the government is trying to take revenge through inhumane practices against Rojavans in Turkish prisons, Tanhan noted that the law is completely suspended in prisons and isolation within isolation. Tanhan stated: “Rojavan prisoners are experiencing great problems both legally and economically. Their most basic rights are violated. The money deposited by the families to the prison accounts becomes a reason for detention and imprisonment on baseless accusations such as ‘financing the organisation’. For prisoners who cannot meet their financial needs due to guardianship problems, money from the families of prisoners who are citizens of Turkey is rejected on the grounds that ‘the sender is not a foreigner’. These degrading practices are intended to make prisoners destitute.”

Stating that there is a process in which even those who have been released cannot regain their freedom, Tanhan continued: “Many of them are taken to repatriation centres and kept in harsh conditions. In these centres, they are forced to sign voluntary return documents. Those who refuse to do so face the threat of being handed over to paramilitary groups. This threat is proof that paramilitary forces function as an apparatus of special war policies and at the same time commit crimes against humanity against the Kurdish people. Turkey's prison policies are extremely problematic and contrary to human rights. In particular, discrimination and ill-treatment against Rojavan prisoners continue systematically. Legal processes and executions of sentences are unjustly prolonged and even those who are released cannot regain their freedom. These people are deprived of the most basic rights of justice and are held hostage in prisons. The government must stop these inhumane practices in prisons as soon as possible and respect basic human rights.”
