Gulistan Abdo, a seriously ill political prisoner in Gebze Prison, whose left leg was amputated due to gangrene for years after she was caught injured in 1994, has to live with platinum for the rest of her life. She has been in jail for 29 years.
Gulistan Abdo, a seriously ill political prisoner who was born in Afrin and was caught injured in the Ömerli district of Merdin (Merdin) in 1994, was arrested on charges of "membership in a terrorist organization". Abdo's left leg was amputated as the wound was not treated for years. She has to live with the prosthesis for life. Abdo was deported to prisons in Amed, Sivas and Siirt, before being deported to Gebze M Type Women's Closed Prison 12 years ago. Her prosthesis was first replaced in 2010. Then, in 2021, was replaced for the second time. The prosthesis works with batteries and needs to be replaced frequently. However, this is not happening.
She broke her head but was not treated
Having a hard time living with the prosthesis, Abdo has problems and often falls and gets new injuries when she tries to move alone. In 2020, she badly hurt her head and suffered a serious fracture. However, neither doctor's checks were made nor requests to free her were accepted. Her check-ups and examinations were prevented by the excuse of a lack of soldiers to accompany her. Now Abdo cannot walk as the batteries of the prosthesis are not changed.
Gulistan Abdo is on the list compiled by the Human Rights Association (IHD) of "severely ill prisoners". She has been in jail for 29 years, and the IHD said she needs to be released as soon as possible.
