Political prisoners in Bolu tortured, transferred to another jail

3 prisoners in Bolu F Type Prison have been tortured and transferred to another jail.

People's Law Office (Halkın Hukuk Bürosu, HHB) stated that Deniz Şah, Latif Mollaahmetoğlu and İlhan Kaya, who were held in Bolu F-Type Prison, were tortured and transferred to İzmir No.2 F-Type Prison on March 2, 2021.

In a written statement on its social media account, the HHB said, “In Bolu F-Type Prison, the same prisoners had been attacked and tortured by the guards in January, and bruises and beatings on the prisoners' bodies were reported. The prisoners were later transferred to another prison.”

HHB added, "It is clear that the transfer policy has been turned into a tool of torture to intimidate and oppress political prisoners and their families."
