Turkey signed ECHR, CAT, ICCPR—yet Serkan, Ayberk and Fikret are left in pit-type isolation after 370, 250, 231 days of hunger strike. Choose law over revenge: end isolation and move them now.

These are not numbers, they are lives: 370 days (Serkan), 250 (Ayberk), 231 (Fikret) of hunger strike. ICCPR Art.10 demands humane treatment of prisoners. Close the pits, end isolation, allow transfers.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
If the right to life means anything, it means acting before 370, 250 and 231 days of hunger strike end in death. End pit-type isolation and transfer Serkan, Ayberk and Fikret to humane prisons.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Hunger strikes this long are a political indictment. Serkan 370 days, Ayberk 250, Fikret 231: how many days must pass before Turkey honours CAT, ICCPR, ECHR and ends pit-type isolation?
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
International law says: no torture, no inhuman treatment. Yet Serkan (370 days), Ayberk (250) and Fikret (231) on hunger strike and remain in pit-type isolation. Transfer them to non pit-type prisons now.

370 days, 250 days, 231 days of hunger strike: Serkan Onur Yılmaz, Ayberk Demirdöğen, Fikret Akar are paying with their bodies to remind Turkey of ECHR and CAT. Answer with rights, not pits and silence.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Fikret Akar has not eaten for 231 days to protest pit-type isolation. This is not “discipline”, it is a warning that law is broken. Respect ECHR, CAT, Mandela Rules: end isolation and transfer him.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Ayberk Demirdöğen has been on hunger strike for 250 days against pit-type prisons and isolation. ICCPR Art.7 bans cruel, inhuman treatment. Transfer him to a humane, non pit-type prison before it is too late.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Serkan Onur Yılmaz has been on hunger strike for 370 days. No democracy can justify pit-type isolation this long. ECHR Art.3 and CAT forbid inhuman treatment. End isolation and transfer him now.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
This is not just a prison issue; it is a regime question. A state that respects ECHR, CAT, ICCPR does not need pits and endless isolation. End hunger-strike deaths, end pit-type prisons, or stop calling this system a democracy.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Turkey helped write the language of “never again” in UN forums.Yet in pit-type prisons,isolation&hunger strikes say “again and again”.International law is watching.Shut the pits,obey the rules,or admit those signatures mean nothing.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
A government that fears moving prisoners from pit-type cells to ordinary prisons is confessing something:it rules by fear,not by rights.ICCPR&CAT demand courage, not pits.Transfer them, end isolation,prove you are not afraid of law.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Art.3 ECHR is absolute—no torture, no inhuman treatment, no excuses. “High security”, “terror”, “discipline” do not legalise pit-type isolation. This is a political choice, not a legal necessity. Reverse it.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
You cannot demand justice for Palestinians or anyone else abroad while running pit-type isolation at home. International law starts at your own prison door. End isolation and hunger-strike indifference first.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Every time a government ignores CPT reports, UN torture warnings and court rulings, it sends one message: “Our pits are above the law.”No government is above the law.Shut pit-type prisons, transfer prisoners,respect your signatures.
#Ayberk250#SerkanAyberkFikret@adalet_bakanlik
Hunger strikes in pit-type isolation are a referendum on the regime of law in Turkey. Do we live under the ECHR and UN treaties, or under the unwritten law of revenge? End isolation and transfers blockades if law still matters.
