Families’ appeal to visit İmralı rejected

The appeals to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office by families of Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan and 3 other prisoners in Imrali to visit their relatives have been rejected.

The appeal Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan’s brother Mehmet Öcalan, sister Fatma Öcalan and titular Mazlum Dinc submitted to the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office yesterday through their lawyers to visit the Imrali island has been rejected.

Imrali prisoners Hamili Yildirim’s brother Polat Yildirim, Omer Hayri Konar’s brother Ali Konar and Veysel Aktas’s sister Sabiha Aslan’s appeals were similarly rejected.

The appeals were rejected by the prosecutor’s office on grounds of “restrictions against convicts” in the Execution of Sentences and Security Measures Act No.5275.
