ANKARA – The release of 14 prisoner at Karabuk T-Type Closed Prison was postponed between April and August on various grounds. 

 
 
Human rights violations against prisoners in Turkey continue. Alişan Şahin, a lawyer and member of the Association of Lawyers for Freedom (OHD), visited the prison on August 13 and met with the prisoners. 
 
Şahin stated that the release postponements were made on arbitrary and unlawful grounds, noting that these decisions were issued without the legally required six-month review, which constitutes a violation of prison regulation and the law.
