Seriously ill prisoners in Turkey are denied release. They are being left to die behind bars.
The AKP regime’s political hatred is turning prison sentences into death sentences.
Turkey must return to the rule of law — international bodies cannot stay silent.

Democracy is eroding in Turkey under President Erdoğan. Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu is jailed on political charges, while CHP’s Özlem Çerçioğlu—facing criminal cases—was pressured to join the AKP. This is not justice. This is coercion.

The dictatorial government in Turkey uses the judiciary as a weapon. Mayors in provinces where the opposition party has won are arrested on charges of corruption. It is a real irony, because the biggest corruption is committed by the #akp.
