img
İSTANBUL - Lawyers of Asrın Law Office applied to Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and İmralı Prison Directorate to meet with their client, PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, whom they had not heard from for 28 months.
 
Rezan Sarıca, Raziye Öztürk, Mazlum Dinç and Faik Özgür Erol, lawyers of the Asrın Law Office, applied to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the İmralı Prison Directorate to meet with PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who was held under heavy isolation conditions in İmralı Type F High Security Prison. Lawyers applied to both the prosecutor's office and the prison directorate for Ömer Hayri Konar, Hamili Yıldırım and Veysi Aktaş, who were held in İmralı.
 
NO NEWS FROM ÖCALAN FOR 2 YEARS
 
Rezan Sarıca and Nevroz Uysal, two of Öcalan's lawyers, were able to meet with their clients after 8 years on May 2-22, June 12-18 and August 7, 2019. Öcalan, who has been held under severe isolation conditions in İmralı High Security F-Type Closed Prison for 25 years, made a phone call yesterday with his brother Mehmet Öcalan after the last phone call on April 27, 2020. However, Mehmet Öcalan had announced that the phone call was interrupted.
 
BANS BROUGHT BEFORE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT
 
The lawyers brought the ban on family visits to the Constitutional Court (AYM) with "unlawful" disciplinary penalties on May 12, following the refusal of the judge. In their application to the Constitutional Court, the lawyers drew attention to "incommunicado" situation, which is the absolute state of lack of communication, and demanded that not being informed is torture to the family, that it violates right to respect for family and private life, the right to defense and fair trial, and the right to an effective remedy.
 
LAST CONVERSATION WAS 2 YEARS AGO
 
Abdullah Öcalan, who has been held under severe isolation conditions in Imralı Prison for 25 years, was given the right to speak on the phone for the first time on April 27, 2020. Öcalan had a telephone conversation with his brother Mehmet Öcalan on March 25, 2021, as public concerns grew after some allegations about his life in social media. However, Mehmet Öcalan announced that this meeting was interrupted.
 
LAWYERS HAVE NOT BEEN IN CONTACT FOR 4 YEARS
 
Abdullah Öcalan's lawyers Rezan Sarıca and Newroz Uysal last met their clients on May 2-22, June 12-18 and August 7, 2019, after 8 years. Lawyers have not been allowed to meet with their clients since then.
 
CONSTITUTIONAL COURT DEMANDS AN OPINION FROM THE MINISTRY
 
The Ministry of Justice was asked for opinion on 23 of the applications made to the Constitutional Court (AYM) by Asrın Law Office in the last 8 years. The Ministry presented an opinion to the Constitutional Court on lawyer bans, family disciplinary bans, telephone rights, bans in İmralı during the State of Emergency (OHAL) and many similar issues.
 
ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY, THERE IS NO 'ILL-TREATMENT'!
 
In the opinion submitted by the Ministry to the Constitutional Court on March 24 regarding the application to prevent lawyers and families from visiting, the Ministry claimed that there was no "ill-treatment" in Imrali, that there were disruptions in the negotiations due to "reasons that were out of reach" and that this situation was "reasonable".
