The release of Sedat Atsız, an ill prisoner who was held captive for 30 years, was postponed for the second time. Atsız's family applied to IHD against these rights violations.

The release of Sedat Atsız (54), an ill prisoner who was held hostage in Bolu F Type Closed Prison and has been kept in jail for 30 years, was postponed for 3 months on 1 March on the grounds that he did not accept the imposition of "remorse". The release was postponed once again for 3 months on 5 June.

The family of Sedat Atsız, who called the prison on June 5, was informed that his release had been postponed for the second time.
