None of us are reported to be battered. We are not sent to the hospital. We may die as a result of their attacking us, deadly attacks are being made.’’

 

In the parliamentary question, it was stated that a delegation should be sent to the prison immediately by the Ministry of Justice and an investigation should be carried out on the persons concerned.
