Conditions are worsening in Turkey’s prisons during COVID-19 pandemic - European Free Alliance
According to reports by human rights and prison monitoring organisations, the conditions of prisons in Turkey have worsened during the pandemic. Since early March, the government of Turkey has been implementing various measures to fight COVID-19 within prisons across the country. This includes a highly contested amnesty law that was utterly unfair and discriminatory at least on two grounds. First, it categorically excluded from its scope all political prisoners facing “terrorism-related charges.” Second, it applies only to convicts, excluding those jailed pending trial.
