Joint statement from Ayşe Barım's lawyers: 'Risk of death is imminent'

It has been stated that renowned talent manager Ayşe Barım, who has been imprisoned at Silivri Marmara Prison since January, is suffering from serious health issues originating from both her heart and brain, and that her treatment is not possible under prison conditions. Reminding that previous requests for release were rejected, Barım's lawyers have applied to the Istanbul 26th High Criminal Court once again in light of new medical reports.

PANEL OF 9 EXPERTS DECLARED "VITAL RISK"

The report dated July 2, prepared by a panel of 9 specialist physicians who examined Barım at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital following a referral by the court, officially revealed the life-threatening condition of the manager.

The lawyers submitted the report to the court and requested her release, including the following statements:

"There is no next stage for her health problems, which carry a vital risk. In the event of a sudden development, intervention in prison may be insufficient. This delay could lead to permanent damage or death."

PACEMAKER NOT INSTALLED, DANGER GROWS

In the petition, which stated that a permanent pacemaker (Pace Maker ICD) needs to be installed for Barım, it was emphasized that sudden cardiac arrest could occur at any moment. "Such devices are used to prevent sudden cardiac arrests. However, this device has not yet been placed in our client's body, and she is at risk of losing her life at any moment," it was stated.

FAINTED 4 TIMES IN 1 MONTH IN PRISON

Among the grounds for release, the most striking was the fainting spells Barım experienced in prison. According to the information in the petition, the famous manager lost consciousness 4 times in just one month. In one of these instances, prison officers were able to intervene in time, but the lawyers reminded of the magnitude of the risk by saying, "there may not be the same chance of intervention during the next fainting spell."

The petition submitted by the lawyers to the court included these remarkable sentences:

"As a result of these values, the only remaining situation that is a matter of time is for these diseases to result in death. Prison conditions do not offer the possibility of rapid intervention and also trigger the diseases."

FIGHTING MORE THAN ONE DISEASE

It was also stated that Barım is struggling not with just one disease, but with multiple life-threatening diseases originating from both her brain and heart. Emphasizing that this situation is worsening every day under prison conditions, the lawyers said, "The only option for Ayşe Barım to live is her immediate release."
