"We just received news, my colleagues told me. He has been taken to the hospital again. He was sent into exile 600 km away from his home and family, to Izmir. He has survived cancer twice; he is experiencing significant weight loss and health problems. He is still in prison under a great deal of hostile law and great cruelty. Greetings to our Beylikdüzü Mayor, my dear brother Mehmet Murat Çalık."
