Behdinan Prisoners Representative Ayhan Seîd issued a written statement regarding the situation of the Behdinan Prisoners and 5 imprisoned activists from Sheladizê, who have been held in Hewlêr General Public Security Prison for 1 year and 4 months.

The statement said that the prisoners met with their families on Monday and told them that a prisoner who has been on hunger strike for a long time lost consciousness and that the condition of the other prisoners is also critical. In the statement, it was also stated that the prisoners in critical condition made a will to their families.

Ayhan Seîd made the following call: “The situation of the detainees is very critical. Something must be done about what the detainees are going through. There are many violations of rights. Security forces torture detainees. Lawyers are not allowed to see them. During the investigation, all their statements were forcibly changed and the prisoners were forced to sign them.

A call was made to human rights organizations and the public to put pressure on the prison authorities to allow detainees to meet with their lawyers and for the hearing dates to be set.
