Turkish fascist state is committing numerous violations against humanity in Turkey and Bakur Kurdistan, particularly against detainees, they do not treat sick and elderly detainees; Recently, Ramadan Turan, 70, was martyred in a solitary cell in the prison.

Detainees call on prisoners through letters to release sick prisoners. In a letter sent from inside Edirne Prison to families, he stated that "it is possible to die at any moment," referring to the denial of treatment of sick detainees.

On this subject, the Kurdish intellectual and writer Bashir Mulla Nawaf spoke to ANHA’s agency, stating that the Turkish state is one of the oldest in the region and was built on the Ottoman heritage. The Ottomans adopted a culture that was able to ignore any voice inconsistent with their demands and needs. The newly established Turkish Republic teaches how to silence the groups and communities.

Bashir Mulla Nawaf stated that Turkey's fascist state mentality towards Turkey's components has not changed since its inception in 1910. It is based on nationalism, language and monotheism, and the Turkish state has thus denied many nationalities and has used many methods and practices to eliminate the Kurdish people. "Prison construction is one of those methods by which the Turkish state seeks to silence the people," he said.

According to data from the Turkish Ministry of Justice in December 2022, 297 thousand and 726 prisoners are found in 383 prisons in Turkey. 27,000 and 658 detainees are in excess of prison uptake.

"Utter screams and pleas have been created from resonance of Amed Prison."

Bashir Mulla Nawaf referred to the resistance of Amed Prison and said that "resistance to prisons is the most difficult phase Turkey has faced. Especially in the face of the 1980 Kanan Afrin coup d'état. Young modern Kurds were influenced by leftist thought or the Kurdistan Liberation Movement, which spread throughout the world. The Turkish state is well aware that a movement based on an assessment of Kurdish history such as the Kurdish Workers' Party will not move according to its mentality. "

Bashir Mulla Nawaf continued: "We therefore believe that Amed Prison (Diyarbakir) is the harshest and most violent prison in existence. It is an example of those prisons where the Turkish state aimed to silence and suppress the voice of freedom-seekers in Kurdistan through torture and violence.

"90 prisons were built for those who did not join the AKP."

Bashir Mulla Nawaf noted that these crimes have been punished by the authorities in Turkey, although they have changed many times since 1980. And they wanted to make the Kurds face revelation. At the arrival of the AKP, they wanted to influence the entire Middle East in the name of Islam.

Turkey ranks first in the numbers of detainees, depending on the penal outcome of the 2020 European Council.

"There are only about 12,000 People's Democratic Party detainees."

Bashir Mulla Nawaf said, "Including the Kurdistan Liberation Movement detainees now imprisoned in Turkish state prisons. To date, there have been about 12,000 People's Democratic Party detainees. "

On 21^st January, the Human Rights Association of Turkey and Bakur Kurdistan reported that "there are at least 231 sick detainees in the Medium Anatolian Prison over a period of 3 months, 38 of whom are in critical condition and are subjected to torture."

Bashir Mulla Nawaf also referred to resistance to detainees and explained that it was not done only at the prison level. The Turkish state arrests intellectuals or figures capable of influencing its surroundings. "The leader of the Kurdish people detained in the Turkish state prison today is the first example that has had an impact on many changes in Kurdish politics today. In addition, it has made a significant impact at the global level as well. This shows that the Turks will not be able to obliterate and suppress the Kurd in prisons; On the contrary, those arrested in prison become professors and leaders of these people. "

The rights of detainees have been violated 2,540 times

Bashir Mulla Nawaf noted that the Turkish state has committed numerous crimes against humanity and human rights violations. In addition to committing dozens of crimes against prisoners and detainees and not having any rapprochement with international principles and standards, he said, "There are numerous documents that prove that the prisoners of the Kurdistan Liberation Movement have been mutilated and burned."

On 26 January, the Human Rights Association of Turkey published a report on the situation of detainees in Turkey, according to which the rights of detainees have been violated 2,540 times, over the past three months and in only 20 prisons. These violations include torture, beatings and the imposition of terrorist characteristics.

Kurdish intellectual and writer Bashir Mala Nawaf concluded: "The Turkish state commits these crimes under the protection of public silence. International forces turn a blind eye to and ignore the crimes of the Turkish state and move solely in accordance with its political interests. If the Turkish violation files ever unravel, they will be held accountable, many parties have proved to be war criminals. "
