The third military coup of the past thirty years was carried out by the Turkish army on 12 September 1982 under the guidance of Kenan Evren. Since the military coup hundreds of people were killed in the Diyarbakir dungeons, which were used as a torture camp to deter socialist and liberationist ideologies.
With the inhumane conditions of the prison-torture system of Diyarbakir prison, where prisoners were subject to horrifying forms of abuse, such as sexual violence, rape, psychological terror, beatings, electro-shocks, and being forced to eat dog excrements, the state tried to break all belief in the prisoners’ ideals, dreams and utopias.
