Women prisoners harassed in prison

Women prisoners subjected to ill treatment and harassment in prison.

Kulp Municipality co-mayor Sadiye Süer Baran, who is held hostage in Osmaniye T Type No. 2 Prison, has denounced the pressure and harassment they are subjected to in jail.

She added that the ill treatment is increasing. The co-mayor has reached JIN NEWS through her daughter Melek. Baran conveyed that three women prisoners had been beaten by guards. Baran said a friend was still in the cell.

Baran informed her daughter Melek that last week the guards searched the women ward of the prison and that prisoners were beaten up and harassed. She said many women were covered in bruises.

Melek Baran has applied to the Human Rights Association (IHD) to intervene while calling on the people to stand up for the women held in Osmaniye prison.

Melek Baran said that her mother had called on people to act quickly, as "tomorrow maybe too late."
