 Today, lawyers from the Asr Law Office — Suzan Akipa, İbrahim Bilmez, Umran Emekçi, and Cengiz Yürekli — filed another petition with the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office in Bursa and the Imrali Prison Directorate. This request seeks authorization to meet with their clients: Abdullah Ocalan, Omer Hayri Konar, Hamili Yıldırım, and Veysi Aktaş, who have been subjected to a system of isolation, torture, and destruction imposed by Turkey for over three years.

The Office submits two petitions weekly to the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office in Bursa and the Imrali Prison Directorate, seeking access to their clients. Despite this, they have not received any response from the authorities regarding these requests.
