Ill prisoner Ali Şen from Yozgat No. 2 T Type Closed Prison was released after 31 years.

Şen, who was detained for political reasons in Mersin in 1993, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the State Security Court (DGM) on charges of “disrupting the unity and integrity of the state” after days of severe torture.

Şen completed the 30-year term of his sentence on 12 July 2023. However, Ali Şen’s release was postponed 5 times because he did not accept the imposition of “repentance”.
