ANKARA - Prisoners stated that arbitrary practices in Karabük Type T Prison are increasing day by day and asked members of parliament to visit the prisons.

Karabük Type T Closed Prison, which has remained on the agenda with the execution postponements of the Administration and Observation Board (IGK), also knows no limits in violations against prisoners. It was stated that in the prison, where conditions are getting worse day by day, the prisoners are exposed to many violations of their rights and threats. Ali Koç, Hakkı Aygün, Murat Tekin and Süleyman Tatar, who are held in prison, conveyed the practices they were subjected to in the message they sent to our agency through their lawyers.
 
Karabük Type T Prison, where no prisoner has been released for the last two and a half years, is on the agenda with the execution and burning of 13 of 26 prisoners. Prisoners who described this situation in their messages, especially M.Ö., the first and second directors of the prison. and F.Ç. said: “We will not give you a good behavior report under any circumstances. We are subjected to threats such as they will postpone our release."
 
POETRY BOOK WAS SEIZED
 
Ali Koç, one of the prisoners, stated that the notebook containing the poems he wrote in prison was detained without justification and said: “They took my poetry notebook during the cell search. I wrote a petition to the prison prosecutor's office; however, in the investigation initiated, it was decided that there was no room for prosecution and the book was not given arbitrarily. Additionally, the problem of not being given Kurdish books and magazines in prison continues. In the period evaluation reports, statements that the prisoners did not say are recorded." 
 
PRISONER HAS NOT BEEN TREATED FOR TWO YEARS
 
Hakkı Aygün, one of the prisoners, stated the following in his message: "I have had to be examined and buy glasses for my eye disease for two years, but I do not go to treatment because I was subjected to intraoral searches."
 
Murat Tekin, whose file is at the Supreme Court, noted that the letters sent to him were not given and the letters he sent did not reach their addresses.
 
CALL FOR SENSITIVITY
 
Süleyman Tatar stated that the administration approaches them more positively when the violations in prisons become public and visits are made by political party representatives, and added: "In this sense, unfair practices in prisons should not be kept silent and prisons should be visited, especially by members of parliament."
 
Metin Çakır, one of the prisoners, stated the following: “I was exiled here from another prison. I had an argument with this prison administration on my way here. He was sentenced to 5 days in solitary confinement and a one-month activity ban on the grounds of argument."
