While thousand of ordinary prisoners were released as a result of the new law on execution during the coronavirus outbreak, tens of thousands of political prisoners were left in prisons despite the danger of the epidemic.

Aşa who was sentenced to 13 years and 6 months of prison sentence with the accusation of 'being a member of an illegal organization' and 'propagandizing an illegal organization' has been on dialysis for 10 years and imprisoned for 6 years.
Aynur Aşa (42) who stated that she has last seen his husband one and a half months ago, said she wasn't able to visit his husband since he was transferred to Diyarbakır Type D Closed Prison. Aşa who stated that she fears about her husband's life, said her husband needs dialysis 3 times a week or he may lose his life. Aşa also stated that the Forensic Medicine Institude gave a report despite all these that he can remain in prison.
