Nesrin Gençosman, a 30-year-old Turkish woman who was put in pre-trial detention early in May 2018 over her alleged links to Gülen movement, died on Wednesday in a Turkish prison in Ordu province, reportedly due to deprivation of the medication she took for pneumonitis.
According to a report by online news outlet Kronos, Gençosman was taken from prison to Ordu City Hospital several days ago where she went into a coma and died.
At least 31 individuals, among whom are police officers, prosecutors and teachers, had been found dead as of July 2017 in Turkish prisons since the failed coup attempt in 2016, causing serious concern about the fate of thousands of civilians who have been kept in jail in poor conditions across the country.
