Conscientious objector Ýnan Süver started a hunger strike 14 days ago to protest the 20-day isolation punishment given to him after his short escape from prison. In the evening of 3 May, he was transferred to the E Type Closed Prison in Manisa (western Turkey).

Bianet website reported on the hunger strike today underlining that on 21 April, Süver escaped from the Manisa Saruhanlý Open Prison. One day later, he was arrested in Izmir and taken to the Buca Prison (Izmir).

Süver started a hunger strike after he was arrested in Izmir. On 3 May, he was now given a 20-day isolation punishment because he insisted on continuing the hunger strike.

Remziye Süver, the wife of the conscientious objector, criticized the procedure. She claimed that her husband Ýnan Süver had been incarcerated for months just because of his opinion.
