İZMİR - Cancer patient Mehmet Salih Filiz who is held under unhygienic conditions in the quarantine ward said: "I am face to face with death if no one hears my voice."
 
Mehmet Salih Filiz (23), who is in Izmir Ödemiş T Type Closed Prison and has colon cancer, osteoporosis and tuberculosis disease, reported the latest condition regarding his health in his meeting with his family.
 
Filiz, who stated that he was forcibly taken to the district hospital even though he did not want to go on 1 June, said: "There were no Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic in the district hospital and/or a doctor to examine me. The doctors did not pay any attention to me at the hospital I was taken to. I was taken to the hospital just to get the committee report. One of the doctors told that I must be released in my condition, but then he recieved a call and changed his mind."
 
QUARANTINE WARD IS NOT HYGIENIC
 
Filiz stating that he was placed under quarantine in a very dirty room said: "There were cockroaches running around and the room was very dirty. They told me one of my friends from the ward was going to accompany me on our way back but I was alone. I am staying with a senior citizen in my ward now. They told me he would help me. He is not even capable of taking care of himself. I lose consciousness sometimes. He can not do anything. I am face to face with death if no one hears my voice."
