HUMAN RIGHTS ASSOCIATION

URGENT CALL

Attention of all International Human Rights Organisations

 

 

The operation so called “Return to Life” has been continuing in F Type prisons by leaving beaten and wounded prisoners to death.

Prisoners and convicts in 3 F Type prisons (having one prison cells and 3 prisoners cells) in total of 900 are reported that they are regularly tortured (rape by sticks, beating, pissing on prisoners etc.) It is also reported that relatives of prisoners are also subject to maltreatment by prison officials.

The Human Rights Association just now need to have solidarity with all human rights organisations to stop this ongoing brutality of the Turkish State.

We wish you try to come Turkey to establish pressure on officials to stop this inhuman behaviours continuing in prisons.
