Today, the lawyers for Abdullah Öcalan and the other three prisoners on İmralı released their ‘2023 Annual Assessment Report on Rights Violations and the Current Conditions in İmrali Island Prison’

They write, ‘Despite all our applications for the fulfilment of the CPT’s recommendations and UN requests for measures, there has been no change in practice throughout 2023, and our clients’ incommunicado detention has continued without intermittence, even in cases where the law requires it, such as earthquakes. Therefore, 2023 has been another year of absolute incommunicado detention, in which we have not been able to receive a single sign of life from our clients.’
