This is double standards. These prisons are isolation tombs. Forcing people to live for years in isolation during detention represents a double punishment. It is a fundamental human characteristic that people are social beings who need to be active and productive at all times. F-Type prisons are a direct assault on human nature.
Prison conditions are a direct reflection of a country's wider social conditions.
The shift from group detention to a system of isolated detention will mean more restrictions and oppression. Prison reforms must be implemented in the spirit of democratisation and respect for freedom and human rights. Democracy inTurkey cannot be separated from reform of its prisons system. Finally, we reiterate that the aim of this F-Type prisons regime is to repress humanity. We call on the public to face up to this issue and not be manipulated by the biased reports in the media.
