Pointing out that his father was sent to many prisons due to his illness, Yaman said: "My father has been in prison for 25 years. During this 25-year period, my father stayed in all prisons. My father is old and cannot live under prison conditions."

	&nbsp;

	Stating that they cannot go to the prison visits many times because it is far away, Yaman said: "I have the opportunity to go to the prison visits once or twice a year. Because he is constantly taken to another prison. My only demand is that my father and the ill prisoners like him be released. Because he is both older and ill. He cannot eat every food because of his condition. The food he eats has to be special."&nbsp;

	Yaman continued as follows: "He cannot meet his needs because he is getting older and sick. An 80-year-old person cannot stay in prison anyway. My only request is that he be released as soon as possible. We cannot go to his meeting every time. We do not know what his health condition is, at what stage he is. "He needs to be released first and he needs to have access to his health rights."
