ANKARA - 5 political prisoners in Yozgat No. 1 Type T Closed Prison were subjected to violence by the guards and were placed in solitary cells.
 
5 political prisoners staying in Yozgat No. 1 Type T Closed Prison were subjected to violence by the guards. The incident came to light when Şirin Gezen, one of the prisoners who was subjected to violence, told her family about what happened in a phone call.
 
Gezen stated that on Saturday night, approximately 25 guards came to the ward where 5 people were staying and went to the dormitory section and dispersed the place.
 
INSULT, CURSING, BATTERY
 
Objecting to this situation, Gezen said: "The guards took us to the ward corridor, where we were handcuffed behind our backs and forced to lie down on the ground. We were beaten when we condemned insults and curses during this time, and after a long period of insults, swearing and violence, they were put in solitary cells and kept there for 2 days."
 
'THE TORTURE CAN HAPPEN AGAIN!'
 
Kenan Maçoğlu, a member of the Ankara Branch of the Association of Lawyers for Freedom (ÖHD), to whom Gezen's family told their experiences and requested legal support, went to the prison to meet with the prisoners. Maçoğlu confirmed the torture incident from the prisoners he met.
 
Maçoğlu also shared that the prisoners are worried that the torture will happen again at any time.
 
INVESTIGATION ON TORTURED PRISONERS
 
When he asked to meet with the prison director regarding the issue, Maçoğlu was given the answer: "There is no director." Maçoğlu shared that the chief officer he met with informed him that a judicial and administrative investigation had been launched against both the guards and the prisoners who were tortured, and that a disciplinary investigation had also begun against the prisoners.
