BANS TO MEETING WITH ABDULLAH ÖCALAN
 
Applications for family and lawyer meetings of Abdullah Öcalan and the other three people held in İmralı are blocked, citing "disciplinary penalties". Between 2021 and 2023, Abdullah Öcalan and the other prisoners were given at least 5 disciplinary punishments of 3 months each, and their right to visit their families was taken away. The reasons and file numbers of these disciplinary penalties were not shared with their lawyers, despite all applications and objections.
 
As a result of the applications made by the lawyers of Asrın Law Firm to the Bursa Execution Judgeship, the judgeship stated that disciplinary penalties of 3 months were given on August 18, 2021, 3 months on February 3, 2022, 3 months on May 31, 2022, and 3 months on September 9, 2022.
 
Responding to the application made by the lawyers on July 10, 2023, on July 19, the judgeship announced that there was a 3-month disciplinary penalty, without specifying the date on which it was given. The last application of the lawyers was on October 10, 2023. Responding to the application made to the Bursa Execution Judgeship requesting family views, on October 13, the judgeship stated that there was a new disciplinary punishment given against Abdullah Öcalan and other prisoners.
 
The judge's office cited "its reflection in the press" as the reason for not sharing the file number subject to disciplinary punishment.
