Vahdettin Erdem is being held in Konya Ereğli High Security Prison. He made a call to the public by describing the torture and anxiety he experienced in a phone call with his family.

'My dead body will come out of here'

Vahdettin Erdemci was arrested in Siirt (Sêrt) in 2014 on charges of "destroying the unity and integrity of the state" and was sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment. His son, Halef, said that his father was tortured by the guards and added: "Although my father complained to the institutions many times, no action was taken. In the last meeting, he said that he would be found dead in the cell one day. We are worried about my father's condition. He is a 55-year-old ill prisoner. If anything happens to him, the prison administration will be held responsible."
