Former Istanbul prosecutor Sadrettin Sarikaya has been held in solitary confinement for more than 500 days, according to his son.
Sarikaya, the prosecutor who had called the intelligence chief Hakan Fidan for testimony as part of a 2012 investigation into the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), was dismissed from the post over his alleged ties to the Gulen movement and jailed pending trial in February, 2017.
“Enough is enough. My father Sadrettin Sarikaya has been kept in one-person cell for 500 days. Even though you are not providing fair trial, show some mercy. This amounts to torture,” his son Seyfullah tweeted on Monday.
Yeter yeter yeter artık Babam Sadrettin Sarıkaya 500 gündür tek kişilik hücrede tutuluyor. Adil yargılamıyorsunuz bari azıcık vicdanlı olun be yaptığınız işkencedir zulümdür hepiniz Allah bildiği gibi yapsın
