Lokman Aslan (40), a 23-year prisoner in Elaziğ No. 2 High Security Prison, said in a phone call with his family that the guards beat 15 prisoners.

 

INTERVENTION WITH PRESSURIZED WATER

 

Aslan stated the following regarding the violations of rights in the prison: "Prison food is very bad. They give each prisoner 2 olives, a piece of cheese and half a loaf of bread at breakfast. The guards raid the wards almost every night. They sometimes use pressurized water in their ward raids. Due to our reaction to these inhumane practices, 2 days ago, the guards brutally battered 15 prisoners, including myself.""

 

RECKLESS PRACTICES

 

Stating that they were able to meet with his brother last week after two years, and this meeting lasted 20 minutes, Prisoner Aslan's brother, Suat Aslan said: "As if deporting the prisoners to prisons far away from their families is not enough, there are also practices that become more reckless with each passing day. We reject these practices against prisoners. We call on the prisoners to approach them within the framework of rights and law."
