News Center- Sibel Balaç, who has been kept in the Sincan Prison for three years, has been on an indefinite hunger strike for a fair trial for 269 days. On September 6, Sibel Balaç was transferred to the Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital for her health status assessment after lawyer Ceren Yılmaz’s application. The lawyers of the People's Law Office have released a written statement about Sibel Balaç, who has lost two kilos since she was transferred to the hospital.

“Her prison sentence must be suspended”

In the statement, the lawyers reported that Sibal Balaç has lost two kilos since she was transferred to the hospital and now weighs 39 kilos.

“Since September 6, when our client was taken to the hospital, she has been undergoing various medical examinations. Our client has been very tired and lost two kilos due to these medical examinations. She has been suffering from insensibility in her feet and legs and mouth sores. According to the latest information we have received, the examinations will end on Wednesday. It is clear that our client cannot stay in prison due to her rapidly deteriorating health condition. The Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital Board members should announce their report immediately and our client should be immediately referred to the Council of Forensic Medicine and the prosecutor's office should suspend our client’s prison sentence,” the statement said.
