JOURNALIST Kibriye Evren is “wasting away” in a Turkish prison, according to her carer who warned that “time is ticking away” for hunger strikers who have now passed the critical threshold.
Senay Hayme explained that those in Diyarbakir Type E Prison were experiencing “serious health conditions” and were now barely able to walk, suffering blurred vision and cramps.
