According to the information obtained, the prisoners being kept in solitary confinement in Elazığ No.1 Type-T Closed Prison are being tortured because they do not perform prayers.
Elazığ No1 High-Security Closed Prison that has a reputation of torture and ill-treatment, is back on the agenda. According to the claims, prisoners who ended their hunger strikes on May 26 with the call of Peoples Leader Abdullah Öcalan are being battered and tortured after calling off their action.
Ferit Bademkıran was taken under custody on August 13, 2015, by the special forces is in Elazığ No.1 High-Security Prison since the summer of 2017.
THE OPPRESSION INCREASED AFTER THE HUNGER STRIKES WERE CALLED OFF
Bademkıran who is being kept in solitary confinement for 5 months, was on hunger strike for 88 days demanding the end of the continued isolation of the Peoples Leader Abdullah Öcalan. According to the information received, the oppression on prisoners staying in solitary confinement has increased after the hunger strikes were called off.
‘TORTURE TO THE PRISONERS NOT PERFORMING PRAYERS’
Bademkıran’s family who visited him last week, said prayer rugs were left in the cells of the prisoners, and those who did not perform prayers were battered, insulted and tortured.
Father Bademkıran who called on to the society for awareness about the torture and ill-treatment in the prisons, will apply to the Human’s Rights Association for legal support.
Elazığ No 1 High-Security Prison Administration which we called to confirm the allegations, did not answer our calls.
