This is the third hunger in LOTS prison known for its atrocious conditions and brutal Li callicull prisoners.
It was sparked by the prison administration's recent steps to remove 170 prisoners into isolation cells and force all prisoners to wear prison uniforms.
Recent measures of the authorities have already resulted in the removal of prisoners' pen and papers, their cell windows have been niacked periods halted and visits by relatives limited to oçcasional brief telephone conversations.
All these add un to a combined effort to break the prisoners' resistance.
The strike is already week prisoners are reported to be in very poor health. Their condition has rapidly deteriorated given that few had fully recovered from the effects of previous hunger strikes.
Relatives waiting at the gaics have reported on scores of collapsed prisoners being carried away in military Meanwhile ambulances. the dubnortie. Have entorced a total news black-out from inside the prison.
There is very little that prisoners? parents can do on their own in todays Turkey. The regime is completely deat to the plight of its own citizens.
Unl pressure can at this stage sway the rulers of the country (and its prisons) to release their deadly grip on the prisoners of Metris. was such pressure that helped the of OULCULiC previous hunger strikes. It is needed again today, urgently.
