Kaya, who said she is very worried for the life of her father, said: "We are concerned. He can get the coronavirus there and he has many chronic diseases. We are afraid for his life."

 

Stating that his father has been in prison for 10 years with life imprisonment sentence, Kaya asked for the release of all severely ill prisoners like his father. "My father cannot sustain his own life in prison. He is a person in need of care. All prisoners in his condition must be released."
