ADANA - Manavgat Type S Closed Prison prevented prisoner Tuba Sert from taking a photo with her family during an open visit.
Tuba Sert, who was sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment in Antalya Manavgat Type S Closed Prison, was not allowed to take a photo with her family during an open visit. Sert family members stated the following: "They only allowed us to shake hands. At that time, 3 to 4 guards came to the meeting area and told us, 'One person stays, 3 people leave, one person will meet'. When we told them that they had authorized this situation, they replied, 'Thank God, you four will never see Tuba together again in your lifetime'. After this statement, we requested to meet with the chief warden, the prison director and the prison prosecutor, but they refused to let us meet with them. We could only meet with Tuba one by one for 5 minutes each. They did not let us take a photo with her. We do not accept this arbitrary practice."
