When Turkey Took Torture to the Streets



The video is prepared by Amnesty International, but here is something that happened after that video is prepared. They are not being related to each other, but it helps explaining the differences in between Turkish administration’s and civilized world’s views.

The people, who have lost their eyes due to the heavy police crackdowns, are being prosecuted now in Turkey. Çağdaş Küçükbattal, who has lost his eye on 31st of May 2013 and was planning his 3rd consecutive surgery, was taken under custody by the police1. His basic right to receive his immediate medical treatment is being restrained now.

As it appears the reason for police asking the list of people who had lost their eyes from TTB (Turkish Medical Association) has never been about compensation, it was to track people down and hunt them down.
