Sabri Kaya, a seriously ill prisoner held in Osmaniye Prison, was hospitalized after his condition worsened.

Sabri Kaya, whose health condition worsened once again, was taken to Adana City Hospital from Osmaniye T Type 2 Closed Prison, where he is detained, to be trated.

"We have applied to the Constitutional Court (AYM) as a request for precaution," said Ilhan Öngör, spokesperson for the Prison Commission of the Human Rights Association (IHD) and Kaya's lawyer.

Öngör added: "We also had meetings with the Osmaniye Prosecutor's Office, Osmaniye State Hospital and the Osmaniye Prison Administration. As a result of the meetings, my client was referred to Adana City Hospital. We are closely following this process."

In his latest weekly phone call Kaya said to his family: "I have no strength left and cannot stand anymore. I will die."

Sick prisoner Sabri Kaya had already suffered a heart attack and brain hemorrhage on 25 March. His heart is working at 25 percent. Since March he has been taken to Osmaniye State Hospital Emergency Service at least 14 times.
