The gang leaders bored in the single - cells in prisons in Europe want
to return to Turkish prisons
The choice of the leaders of underground organisations captured in
foreign countries who could not stand the conditions of the prisons abroad
is being extradited to Turkey.
The reason for those who prefer to stay in prisons in Turkey is that they
got bored in their modern single - cells, and particularly the 20 - 30
people ward system where prisoners enjoy themselves in their special type
parties.
Following Sedat Peker, Kursat Yilmaz, Alattin Cakici, and Hasan Heybetli
another famous name of the world underground Ayvaz Korkmaz also preferred
Turkish prison.
Omer Yesilyurt, the lawyer of Sedat Peker who returned to Turkey on his own
will and fulfilled his imprisonment in a prison in Turkey said, the ward
system in Turkey helps the prisoner to spend much better time and the
prisoners in Europe
has no opportunity to come together.
The member of the Study Board of the Human Rights Centre of the Istanbul Bar
Gul Altay on the other hand said the reason for that the refugees abroad
choose Turkish prisons is that the prisons in Turkey are much more
comfortable.
Huseyin Baybasin who was captured in Holland for drug smuggling has also
went on a hunger strike to be extradited to Turkey. Complaining about the
conditions in Vught Prison Baybasin has been on a hunger strike since
December 25.
His lawyer Tahsin Ekici said, "The conditions in the prison are too harsh.
He has limited chance to have fresh air. The authorities even didn't let his
mother to talk Kurdish in a visit. He has been in prison for 24 months but
the trial didn't started yet. His only demand is to be extradited to Turkey
and fulfill his imprisonment in a Turkish prison. He had stayed in
Bayrampasa Prison before, he wants to go back there."
