The Socialist Party of the Oppressed (ESP) launched a two-day hunger srtike at the party building in Dersim demanding the closure of the pit-type prisons. Orhan Çelebi said: "The latest development in the prison policy is the introduction of new high-security prisons referred to as S and Y types, but which the prisoners themselves call ‘pit-type’ prisons."

Çelebi noted that the government has turned the country into a "semi-open prison," adding: "Building numerous new types of prisons, filling them up, deepening practices of isolation and solitary confinement, and producing unconstitutional new enforcement practices have always been a deliberate policy of political power. As of the end of 2024, there are 403 prisons in Turkey, with a total of over 340,000 detainees and convicts. Currently, there are 13 Y-Type, 7 S-Type, and 23 High-Security Prisons in operation. In the words of revolutionary prisoners, that means there are 43 ‘pit-type’ prisons in this country."

Çelebi underlined that these "pit-type" prisons lack proper ventilation and windows, consist of single or three-person cells, and are centers of severe isolation and solitary confinement. "In these prisons, inmates are kept alone with no contact with anyone else and are allowed out for just one hour a day to another section for air time, always alone. Seeing the sky or breathing fresh air is impossible. Due to electronic doors and push-to-talk systems, prisoners often don’t even come into contact with guards."
