As the world celebrates The Mother’s Day today, more than 17,000 women, many of them with babies, have been deprived of enjoying the day as they are obliged to spend it in prisons across Turkey.
Especially after a coup attempt on July 15, prisons in Turkey turned into a hub for Turkish women, as the government adopted a policy of imprisoning those who, in some cases, have just given birth or are pregnant.
In several cases, women were detained in the hospital immediately after the delivery of her baby and before they had a chance to recover. Many women were jailed as they were visiting their imprisoned husbands, leaving the children stranded in the ensuing chaos.
It is time to do a reality check and see how the mother’s of Turkey’s purge are doing:
1- The first on the list: Kurdish mothers
Turkish police last week forcibly removed the mothers of inmates on a hunger strike after they attempted to hold a sit-in protest in Diyarbakır province to raise awareness about their sons’ situations.
