	İSTANBUL - Yaşar Aslan, a 30-year prisoner held in Tekirdağ No. 2 Type F Prison, is not released even though he has completed his execution.

	 

	Yaşar Aslan, a 30-year prisoner held in Tekirdağ No. 2 Type F Prison, was burned for the second time and his release was extended for another 3 months because he did not accept the "Repentance" imposition of the Prison Administration and Observation Board despite completing his execution.

	 

	Aslan, who was detained on political grounds in December 1992 while he was studying at Dicle University Faculty of Law, was tried by the State Security Court (DGM) and sentenced to life imprisonment. Aslan, who was expected to be released on December 27, 2022, did not accept the board's imposition of "regret", so his execution was delayed and his release was extended for 3 months.

	 

	Aslan, who was last seen before the Prison Administration and Observation Board on March 27, was delayed for the second time due to the same imposition.

	 

	ENJOYABLE TORTURE

	 

	His brother, Müslüm Aslan, condemned to the postponement of his brother's release for "arbitrary" reasons, said: "This is torture that is fed by arbitrary attitudes spread over time. Human rights associations and people who define themselves as democrats, progressives and intellectuals should react by saying 'stop' to the attitudes of self-made courts that are now widespread and set up in dungeons. Aslan stated that if something happens to his brother, those responsible are the board that decided to "delayed his releas", the prison administration, the prison prosecutor's office and the Ministry of Justice.

	 

	QUESTION SUGGESTED

	 

	HDP Mêrdîn MP Pero Dündar brought the issue to the Parliament and submitted a parliamentary question asking the Ministry of Justice to answer. Dündar asked the following questions to the Ministry:

	 

	"* Is it lawful for the prosecutor who signed the decision to delay the execution and the prosecutor who gave the opinion on the objection to be the same person?

	  

	* How is it possible that Aslan, who has written a petition to the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Law of Dicle University, is not concrete?

	 

	* What is the legal justification for the Administrative and Observation Board to act as a kind of 'court'?"
