İSTNABUL - Vahap Oynaş, father of Dilan Oynaş who was held in Sincan Women's Prison and whose release was delayed for the 4th time, said that the unlawfulness in prisons, which he describes as "torture houses", is a reflection of the Imralı isolation.

 

Journalist Dilan Oynaş, who has been imprisoned in Ankara Sincan Women's Closed Prison since 2016 with the allegation of "member of a terrorist organization", is not released due to the report prepared by the Administration and Observation Board, even though her sentence expired on April 26, 2022. Oynaş, who was first appointed to the board on April 27, 2022, was sentenced to death on the grounds that he was not in good behavior. Playing on the council for the second time on July 21, 2022, this time was burned to death and his release was extended for 6 months because he did not accept the imposed "regret". The Administration and Monitoring Board, which convened for the third time on January 21, blocked his release for the third time, citing the disciplinary punishment given to Oynaş. Finally, the board, which convened for the fourth time on March 27, once again prevented the release of Oynaş for 6 months, as they did not accept the imposition of "regret". Father Vahap Oynaş condemned the unlawfulness that his daughter was exposed to.

 

'HOUSE OF TORTURE'

 

Describing the prisons as "torture houses", father Oynaş said: "The existing unlawfulness and the isolation of PKK Leader Abdullah Öcalan, who is being held in İmralı Type F High Security Prison, have repercussions on the prisons. I went to see my daughter several times during the state of emergency in 2016, but they did not let me meet. The last time I spoke, she said that the ward she was in was raided. During the hunger strike, pressure was used under the name of constant search. Letters and books are not delivered on time.” 

 

Stating that her blankets were collected in the middle of winter in prison, Oynaş said: “The aim is to inflict pain. 3 months ago, my daughter called and said that he got a communication penalty for a month and we shouldn't worry about her. The punishment was given on the grounds that there were other voices other than me during the previous phone call. She received this punishment because the voices of children were heard in the phone calls I made with my daughter because our house was crowded.”
