TURKEY, — According to Firat News Agency 352 prisoners have been died in Turkish prisons due to lack of heath care and serious conditions. The Turkish authorities turn blind eyes on the prison conditions and failed to provide prisoners with care they need.
Turkish authorities keep ignoring the warnings received on the prison conditions and they have claimed the prisoners cannot be treated in the prison. “While 97 seriously ill prisoners are waiting for their time of death, other prisoners also face similar illnesses,” report said on Wednesday.
However, no positive step has been taken so far despite the big effort of tens of institutions and political organizations like İHD, MAZLUM-DER, TUHAD-FED, DTO, BDP, Blue Libra Jurists and regional bars that have appealed to government many times.
According to the researches made, the number of prisoners left to death in prisons has reached 352 in the last 10 years. While the insensitivity is bringing ill prisoners closer to death successively, the worry of families is culminating into uprising.
