The release of 9 Kurdish political prisoners, who were arrested for different reasons in the 1990s and are now held in Karabük T Type Closed Prison, has been prevented by the Prison and Observation Board.

One year has passed since prisoners Ejder Doğan, Mustafa Karakaya, Ali Koç, Aydın Kudat, Abdurrahman Güner and Mehmet Sarı were supposed to be released. Abdullah Ok is waiting to be released for 6 months and Halil Temel and Adem Oktay for 3.

The 9 Kurdish political prisoners, who did not accept the repentance imposed by the Prison Administration and Observation Board under the name of "good behavior", are being kept in jail on different disciplinary grounds.
 

The applications made by the lawyers are also rejected with fabricated reasons.
