ONE PERSON PRISON!

 

Referring to her last phone call, Zeynep Yıldırım said, "My brother said that the pressures in prisons are increasing day by day. Even cells they are held alone are raided once a week, and the prisoners are persecuted. Only one of those held in a cell has a disciplinary penalty. He was deprived of his right to make phone calls. My brother said that another prisoner has been held in a cell for 7 months. Yozgat Prison is built on the basis of keeping people in cells. They are exiling a lot of people here."
