Families' request to visit Imrali rejected
The application filed by families of Kurdish people's leader Abdullah Öcalan and other prisoner families to visit their relatives in Imralı was rejected once again.
The application filed by Abdullah Öcalan's brother, Mehmet Öcalan and his tutelar Mazlum Dinç to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to visit Imrali was rejected.
Hamili Yildirim’s brother Polat Yildirim, Ömer Hayri Konar’s brother Emin Konar and Veysi Aktaş’s sister Melihe Çetin and her daughter Eylem Çetin were also refused the application.
The Chief Public Prosecutor's Office rejected the application of the families, citing "Restrictions on convicts" as per "Law No. 5275 on Execution of Criminal and Security Measures".
Applications filed by families since 12 August 2019 have all been rejected.
