The Prisoners’ Families Association (TUAY-DER) launched a letter campaign to express solidarity to the detainees. The association

 made a press statement at the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Siirt (Sêrt) provincial building. Kadri Bilgiz, director of Siirt TUAY-DER, drew attention to the situation of ill prisoners and said: “As it is known, prisoners are kept under harsh conditions. The place of ill prisoners is not jail. They need to be kept in an environment where they can receive treatment. And this space is their homes. We have started the campaign to send letters to all prisoners. Ill prisoners are not alone."
