Prisoners suffer from scabies

“The torturers in the Amed (Diyarbakır) prison are now in Bakırköy (prison),” Berivan Zadsan said that the prison officials constantly provoke the prisoners to riot. She also said that they are not allowed to see the prison’s director and their requests to meet with the prosecutor are also rejected. “They are gradually limiting our living space. The waged psychological warfare (in the prison) has reached the level of torture. We are threatened for everything we do and prisoners are punished.” Berivan Zadsan called for solidarity against inhuman practices in the prison.

Social media post by Eren Keskin

“I have left the Bakırköy Women’s Closed Prison just now. The first prison director A and the second prison director S are very OPPRESSIVE towards women prisoners.
