	'HE LOST WEIGHT FROM 60 KILOS TO 30 KILOS'

	 

	Mother Kumriye Tanboğa, who went to the hospital recently and saw her son, summarized her son's condition as "skin and bones." Stating that her son's health condition is not good, mother Tanboğa said: "They hospitalized him for three weeks this month. There is no progress in his treatment. My son is fed with formula. He has been meeting his nutritional needs this way for 3-4 years. My son was just a child when he was arrested. My son's condition is getting worse day by day. I want him to be released. We want justice. Doesn't this state have a conscience? My son weighed 60 kilograms, but now he weighs 30 kilograms. Is this justice? Let them release my son, I will take care of him and treat him."

	 

	'TANBOĞA WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL'

	 

	Stating that every day is critical for her son, mother Tanboğa said: "The prison administration called me a week ago and said, 'We took your son to the hospital, let me know.' After receiving this news, I immediately went to Amed. My son is held in a three-person ward. He meets his needs with the help of his friends. If he was not with his friends he would be dead by now. They hospitalized my son three times this month. The first time he went, he was hospitalized for 2 days, the second time he was hospitalized for a week, and the third time he was hospitalized for 2 weeks. My eyes and ears are on the phone every day; I'm waiting for the news and phone call from my son. I haven't heard from him for two days. I feel like I'm not alive during these two days."

	 

	Mother Tanboğa continued as follows: "Human rights organizations should ask about my son's condition as soon as possible and focus on it. Hear his voice before it is too late. They have not been able to diagnose my son's illness for how many years. They always tell us 'he is fine'. If he is fine, Then why is my son getting worse day by day?
