It has been alleged that İpek Elif Atayman, Deputy General Manager of KENTHAŞ, a subsidiary of the Şişli Municipality, who was arrested as part of the investigation into the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), is being deprived of humane conditions in prison. Lawyer Hüseyin Ersöz announced that his client, Atayman, has not been provided with a bed or bunk for five days.
Ersöz emphasized that this practice is a clear violation of the “Prohibition of Ill-Treatment”. In a statement made on the social media platform X, he said, “It is essential that all human needs of a person whose freedom is restricted in prison be met by the state. Acting in accordance with human rights is the primary duty of public personnel.”
