Six prisoners deported from Silivri Closed Prison to Tekirdağ No 2 F-Type Closed Prison were placed in cells called “cages”.

The six prisoners went on hunger strike against this inhuman practice.

Prisoners held in two separate cells in groups of three started a hunger strike against this inhuman practice.

The prisoners' lawyers said that their clients were deported 20 days ago and that they were placed in "cage" cells on the grounds that there was no room in the other cells.

The lawyers reported that the prisoners had gone on hunger strike after the prisoners' request to be moved into ordinary cells was denied. It was stated that the prisoners had been on hunger strike for 15 days and that they had been negotiating with the prison administration to solve the problem.
