Sise Bingöl, an 85-year-old woman arrested by the Turkish government led by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has reportedly been taken to prison again after being hospitalized for eight days.
According to a report by pro-Kurdish Fırat news agency (ANF), Sise Bingöl, who had been taken to Mersin University Medical Faculty Hospital on November 2, had been hospitalized with the purpose of checking her health status. The old woman was kept in the hospital for 8 days and sent back to Tarsus T Type Women’s Prison despite she is suffering from many health problems.
It was also reported that parts from the old woman’s lung and bone were resected during the treatment. The hospital said a report on Bingöl’s health would be released in two weeks.
Bingöl’s lawyer Gülşen Özbek said she would ask once again for the release of her client in light of the new medical report. Bingöl struggles with health problems such as stomach pain, diabetes, asthma, blood pressure, and others. Bingol had a heart attack one month before she was sent to the prison and her treatment was incomplete.
It was reported that Bingöl cannot meet her daily needs by herself and is able to cope thanks to the help she receives from other prisoners.
Sise Bingöl, who has been in prison since 2017, was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months of imprisonment on charges of aiding the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Despite a previous report stating that she could not be held in prison her petition requesting her release denied.
Bingöl, who had been released after the first hearing of June 2016, was sentenced again in April 2017.
