In a phone call with his father Eyüp Işıktaş, prisoner Mehmet Işıktaş, who was deported to Konya Ereğli T Type Closed Prison, told him about the rights violations he and the other prisoners experienced during the transfer from Diyarbakır.

Father Işıktaş said that the day his son was deported he was not informed that this transfer would happen until the day of the visit. He learned about the new prison where his son was deported on October 23, when his son called him by phone from the new prison. Işıktaş said: “The day we went to the meeting, we learned that he was going to be sent to another prison. We tried to get information from the authorities about where my son was transferred, but neither us nor the lawyers were informed on the grounds of 'security'. Three days later, his lawyer and then my son called us. That's how we found out where it was."

Işıktaş told his father that he was not allowed to take any of his belongings except the clothes he was wearing when he was deported, and added that they were badly harassed during the transfer.
