ISTANBUL - Relatives of the prisoner who reacted to the arrest of Hatice Yıldız, who was sent to prison on a stretcher, said: "Our children's needs should be met so that we do not have to send money."

Hatice Yıldız, who was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison on the charge of "providing finance a terrorist organization" for depositing money to her daughter and her daughter's cellmate in prison, was arrested after her sentence was approved. Yıldız was taken out of her home on a stretcher and taken to prison. Yıldız, who is 75 years old, has many health problems. While legal and human rights organizations reacted to the situation, an application was made to the Constitutional Court (AYM) for Yıldız's release.
 
REACTION FROM PRISONER'S RELATIVES
 
Another reaction to Yıldız's arrest came from the relatives of the prisoners. Fince Akman, mother of prisoner Yakup Akman in Silivri No. 3 Type F Closed Prison, said that those who made the decision did not have a conscience. Mother Akman said: "No faith or morality will accept this. This is the first time we see such a thing. A person cannot be arrested for sending money to someone who is angry. The person who sends this money is old and ill. She is not in a position to meet her own needs."
 
Akman said: "The state is afraid of a 75-year-old ill woman. You are afraid of Kurdish mothers and Kurds. There is little to say in the face of such an event. Should we not send money to our children in prison, should our children die in prison? You meet the needs of our children and we will not send money. Will they bring peace by doing this? We do not accept this."
 
Akman said: "The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) must do its duty. Politicians, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and political parties must say stop to this oppression. Everyone should take responsibility for this struggle."
 
'SHAMENESS OF THE STATE'
 
Cemile Ciftçi, the relative of the prisoner who described Yıldız's arrest as "shamelessness", said: "We are in favor of peace and justice. Kurds must resist this oppression. We, as mothers, will continue this struggle until we eliminate this oppression."
