Amed- The Justice Watch started by the families of prisoners demanding the release of sick prisoners and the prisoners, who are not released despite having completed their sentences, continues.

Today, the families gathered in front of the Diyarbakır D-type Closed Prison to issue a press statement with the participation of the members of the Association of Assistance and Solidarity with Families Who Lost Their Relatives in the Cradle of Civilizations (MEBYA-DER), Med Federation of Associations for Legal Aid and Solidarity with Families of Arrestees and Convicts (MED TUHAD-FED), Association for Solidarity with Families of Arrestees (TUAY-DER), Democratic Regions Party (DBP) and Lawyers Association for Freedom (ÖHD).

Call for support

Nazime Boltan, one of the relatives of prisoners, said that their Justice Watch has entered its ninth month. “We started this watch to prevent our relatives from being subjected to insults. However, they face more persecution every day. As the relatives of the prisoners, we will continue to demand the rights of our relatives no matter what happens. I have not seen my son for four years. This is an insult against us and our children. Our children have been transferred to prisons far from us. Political parties should support our watch. Why does everyone play ostrich? Our children have not been held in prison for disgraceful offenses; they have been held in prison for defending their lands.”
