NEWS CENTER - Başak Demirtaş announced that his husband Selahattin Demirtaş was prevented from seeing his children by the prison administration who used the coronavirus outbreak as an excuse.

 
Being held in Edirne Type F High Security Closed Prison, Selahattin Demirtaş, former Co-Chair of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) was prevented from seeing his children who came to visit him by the prison administration who used the coronavirus outbreak as an excuse. His wife who shared what happened from her twitter account, said: "Our daughters Delal and Dılda were not allowed to see their father."
 
Başak Demirtaş said: "The workers who work in very difficult circumstances, the public workers, those who travel in planes side by side, those who attend the events organized by the ruling party, those who attend AKP rallies are not infected by coronavirus, 
 
But the people we love whom we can see through double glass in open visits, with masks and visors on are getting infected! This is why they reduced the visits to once a month.
 
Especially when two children try to see their father in closed visits, they immediately gets infected.This is why our daughters were not allowed to see their father.
 
You stopped the open visits due to coronavirus. Ok. Why did you cancelled the closed visits? Let's say it's ok as well. Why don't you let the people speak on the phone? You said you were going to allow video chats. What happened to that? Why are you usurping our rights?
 
Above all, since there is great a risk of coronavirus, why don't you release politicians, journalists and people whose lives are in danger? "
