84-year-old seriously ill prisoner Sıddık Güler, who was confined to a wheelchair and unable to meet his needs on his own in Menemen R Type Prison, has been transferred back to Iskenderun T Type Closed jail. The reason for the transfer, on 12 October, was that Güler did not receive a "disability report" from the Forensic Medicine Institution (ATK).

Güler, who is on the IHD's list of seriously ill prisoners, has been held in jail since 1994 due to a life sentence given for political reasons. Güler has diseases such as hypertension, heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

The IHD Iskenderun Branch applied to the Iskenderun Republic Chief Prosecutor's Office exposing the situation of Güler in 2020. After the application, Güler was transferred to Iskenderun State Hospital on 29 January 2021. The Iskenderun Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, however, rejected Güler's application for a postponement of the sentence, after a report stated that "there is no harm in staying in a prison with a doctor and an infirmary". Sıddık Güler was deported to Menemen R Type Prison on 29 March 2022.
