VISIT MUST BE GRANDED IMMEDIATELY

 

The attorneys said in the application, "It has been observed that serious claims were made regarding the body integrity and life of the client on some internet news sites and social media accounts on 14.03.2021. It is a fact that the conditions of isolation allow such news to emerge. However, in order to eliminate the great and serious concern that this claim has created in us and in the family, we need to meet directly. In this sense, we demand that the request for a visit must be accepted as soon as possible."
