EXECUTION SHOULD BE POSTPONED UNTIL RECOVERY

Feti Yıldız drew attention to the need to protect the right to life of sick inmates in prisons. In his statement, Yıldız used the following expressions: "If the execution of a prison sentence poses a definite danger to the life of the inmate, the execution must be postponed until recovery."

EMPHASIS ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT TO LIFE

Stating, "As stated in Human Rights Conventions and Article 17 of our Constitution; 'every human being has an inherent right to life. The right to life, which ranks first in terms of value among human rights, is the reason for the existence of all other rights,'" Yıldız argued that the right to life of sick prisoners should be a priority.
