SEMSÛR - Kamber Yıldız, the older brother of Necla Yıldız, one of the 12 women whose release was blocked in Sincan Women's Closed Prison, said: "A different justice system is implemented to Kurds in Turkey."
 
The Regulation on Observation and Classification Centers and the Evaluation of Convicts came into force by being published in the Official Gazette on December 29, 2020 with the amendment made to Article 89 of the Law on the Execution of Sentences and Security Measures. The prisoners' "good behavior" was evaluated every 6 months and decisions for release began to be made with the Administrative and Observation Boards (IGK) established by this regulation.
 
The IGK, which has served as a second "court" since the day the practice was included in the regulation, has been prevented by unlawful decisions, especially the release of political prisoners. The execution of at least 313 prisoners has been postponed, according to the report of the Human Rights Association (IHD) with this practice, which has been implemented since the beginning of 2021 and is contrary to both the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECtHR).
 
RELEASE OF 14 WOMEN WAS PREVENTED
 
In Sincan Women's Closed Prison, which is defined as a pilot prison among women's prisons, the execution of 14 female prisoners has been postponed so far due to this practice. Rojdan Erez and Hanım Yıldırım, among the 14 female prisoners, were released recently after completing their entire prison sentences. There are 12 female prisoners in Sincan Prison whose release was prevented because their execution was postponed. The execution of Necla Yıldız, who was arrested in 2016 and was supposed to be released on February 3, was postponed 3 times in 3-month periods.
 
'INJUSTICE IS BEING IMPLEMENTED TO ALL KURDS'
 
Yıldız's family, who lives in Bûbikan (Bağlıca) village in the center of Semsûr, said that preventing evacuations is an unlawful policy towards the Kurds. Mother Ayşe Yıldız stated that while they were waiting for her daughter to be released in February, they were faced with a decision to postpone her execution and said: “Our children are being punished for defending their rights, and they are not released in this way. They release those who kill people, and keep people in prison for years for doing politics. Those who do this cannot talk about conscience and rights. This injustice is something that is done to all Kurds in the eyes of Necla. They see this as a right for the Kurds." 
 
'A SPECIAL IMPLEMENTATION FOR KURDS'
 
Stating that the injustice that Kamber Yıldız, who is brother of Necla, experienced during the trial process continued with the postponement of his release, Yıldız said: “My brother, in his phone conversation with us a few weeks before his release date. The release of many of his friends was blocked and that his own release would probably be blocked as well. His release was postponed first to June and then to September. Now they have blocked his release once again. The injustice done is the injustice done to the Kurdish people in the person of Necla. Necla did not step back. The state is trying to make the Kurds, who do not back down, desperate and dependent on them with these policies. A different justice system is implemented for Kurds in Turkey. The release of all female prisoners in Xinjiang was prevented. This shows us that this policy specifically targets women. It is not a coincidence that this policy is implemented in a place where women are murdered every day because they want to create obedient, unconscious women. Women who try to break this system are targeted."
