The Justice Vigil, which was launched in Istanbul by the relatives of the prisoners demanding to release the ill prisoners and those whose sentence was served, has entered its 38th week.

This week's vigil took place in front of the Istanbul Courthouse in Çağlayan. The elder sister of Erdal Özel, a seriously ill prisoner held in Tekirdağ No. 2 F Type Prison, Kumri Akgül, the sister of a seriously ill prisoner held in Ümraniye L Type Closed Prison, Selim Çiftçi, the mother of Zeynep Calıhan who is being held in Şakran Women's Closed Prison, and Gülsüm Öztürk, attended the vigil.

Before the action, hundreds of police officers waiting in front of the courthouse wanted to prevent the march of the prisoners' relatives towards the area. While the police tried to implement the action and activity ban of the Kağıthane District Governor's Office, the families did not listen and continued to march. Kumri Akgül, one of the prisoners' relatives, stated that they were detained for 11 months only because they demanded justice and added: "We say 'enough is enough' to this state. Our ill children should not come out of prisons in a coffin." Akgül said that the state could not tolerate the actions organized for ill prisoners.

After the relatives of the prisoners voiced their objections, the police blockaded the group. Relatives of the prisoners and those who supported them chanted slogans of "Biji berxwedana dungeon" and "Right, law, justice" by making a victory sign. The police tried to put the participants into the detention vehicle. While the relatives of 4 prisoners, were detained, Ömer Ertuğrul, Serhat Ertuğrul and an unknown person were detained on the grounds that they supported the action.

The 7 people who were taken into custody were taken to the Kağıthane District Police Department.
