It is reported that the political prisoners in Kırıklar No. 1 F Type Closed Prison set fire to a ward in the B block on June 15 and 19 to protest the violations of their rights. Affected by the smoke, the prisoners were taken to the infirmary.

Lawyer Onur Can Aykut from the Izmir Branch of the Association of Lawyers for Freedom (ÖHD), who spoke to the prisoners, confirmed that the prisoners set fire to their ward twice in response to the continued isolation policies, the relocation of political prisoners to different blocks, and the arbitrary practices of the prison administration.

Lawyer Aykut stated that after the action, the prisoners were prevented from engaging in sports and similar activities and the crackdown on them was aggravated. Prisoners said that the first director of the prison took the issue personal, saying that "the situation will not change as long as I am here. I will not allow visits by lawyers or families ". Aykut noted that the prison prosecutor did not take any initiative for a solution and remained irresponsive to their complaints.

In the meantime, a delegation consisting of ÖHD İzmir Branch co-chairs Şükran Öztürk and Velat Zeren and lawyer Halil Coşkun Nehir Bilece is expected to meet with the prisoners.
