Kuytul's prison ward was raided — even the inside of his sock was inspected

Alparslan Kuytul's lawyer, Ömer Hakseven, reported that one day after the case files he had delivered himself entered the ward, Kuytul's ward was raided, all his belongings were scattered, and he was made to take off his slippers and even the inside of his sock was inspected. The reason given was the metal fastener inside the blue folders.

Clothes brought by Kuytul's family were not handed over in prison

The clothes were not handed over. His daughter Meryem Kuytul set out a month of shifting rules: thirty days in the same clothes, and the weather has turned cold.

Moved 1,000 km away without telling the family

Furkan Haber reports Kuytul was taken from Adana Kurkculer with no word to family or lawyer; they found him in Erzurum by calling prisons one by one.
