Political prisoners in Islahiye T Type Prison were attacked by the guards during the morning count. The guards attacked the 6 prisoners in the C-23 ward, saying "you don't show us any respect".

Numerous guards tied the prisoners' hands behind their backs and laid them face down in the corridor. The prisoners were beaten and tortured there. The director of the prison, who came to the scene later, told the prisoners that the guards were new and that they attacked the prisoners "because they did not know you".

Prisoner Ilhami Işçi's family stated that the prisoners were attacked because they were political prisoners. They said that it became difficult to find basic foods in prison after the earthquake, and added that such acts of violence also affect the prisoner’s psychology.

The family said: “The guards beat them during the morning count. Their mouths and noses were bleeding. They were beaten so badly for no reason. The guards also  cursed them. They told them "you are terrorists".
