DİYARBAKIR - Emine Irmak, mother of HDP former MP Selma Irmak, stating that the prisoners must be released because of the virus threat, said: "I am sick and old. I may not be able to see my daughter again if something happens to me. I want to hold my daughter."
 
While the coronavirus continues to claim lives in the world, the reactions against the lack of measures continue. Emine Irmak, mother of Peoples' Democratic Party former MP Selma Irmak who is being held in prison since 2016, said: "I have not been able to see my daughter for a year and a half, I want to hold my daughter", said the measure that is need to be taken is the evacuation of the prisons.
 
Irmak, stating that the politicians working for the people are being held in prison despite the coronavirus, said: "The real criminals are those who put politicians in prisons and keep them away from their loved ones. My daughter has been unjustly imprisoned for years and remains in prison. I've been yearning for my daughter for years, who will answer to me for this? I am sick and old, if something happens to me, I may not see my daughter again, this situation makes me very sad. Who is to blame for this?"
  
'RELEASE MY DAUGHTER'
 
Irmak, who has a heart disease, stating that she can not visit her daughter in prison for a year and a half because of her sickness, said she can only talk to her daughter on the phone. Irmak said: "I want to hold my daughter in my arms, I want her to be with me. Release my daughter and her friends. My daughter and other political prisoners remain in prison while they are releasing the murderers and thieves. My daughter and her friends are people who work for their people. They were the ones to be released."
 
Irmak emphasizing that personal protective equipment are not given to the prisoners, said: "The emergence of cases in some prisons and even deaths are already worrying us for the political prisoners whose immune systems have been weakened in prison conditions. Prisons are not prepared in any way against the risk of epidemic, it is not possible to prevent the epidemic by any measure in these conditions. What needs to be done is urgently evacuating the prisons."
