In the examinations carried out by a 100-person delegation consisting of forensic medicine and psychiatry specialists, as well as experts in internal medicine, general surgery, chest diseases, family medicine, ophthalmology, orthopedics-traumatology, and neurology, the physical and mental conditions of the activists were meticulously examined," he said.

In his statement, where he noted that the activists' testimonies had been taken and the process was ongoing, Minister Tunç said, "Samples for necessary tests were taken from all activists, who consist of citizens of Tunisia, Jordan, the UK, Mauritania, and Morocco, as well as our own country, and those with additional medical complaints or health issues were referred to healthcare institutions.

Following the examinations, testimonies were taken by public prosecutors, and the process is being conducted with sensitivity by our relevant authorities," he added.
