Prisoners in Batman jail held for 5 hours out in the yard despite snow and cold

Vedat Duyuş (24), who was arrested and sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment in Antalya, where he went to work due to state terrorism implemented in the Nusaybin district of Mardin in 2016 under the name of curfew, asked for sensitivity about the inhumane practices they were subjected to.

In the phone call he made to his family, Duyuş talked about the violations of rights and asked them to call the Human Rights Association (IHD).

After the phone call, his brother Hunaf Duyuş said that Vedat’s condition was not good.

Noting that the 20-minute phone call is arbitrarily reduced to 5, Duyuş added that they could not even ask his brother if he needed anything.

Hunaf Duyuş said: “The situation of political prisoners is not good. Letters and parcels are not given. They sent them back. The prisoners are under pressure. They are insulted. When they take them out to the ventilation, they close the door and they stay under the snow and rain for 5 hours.”

Hunaf Duyus said that the political prisoner asked the IHD to investigate the prison, and that his brother said that if the problems are not resolved, they will go on hunger strike.

Duyuş’s mother, Fatma Duyuş, said that her son’s ward was raided many times and his belongings were scattered all over the cell.

Fatma Duyuş stated that her son was given a two-month disciplinary penalty because of the phone call he made earlier. “Nobody has the right to do that to our children.”
