The minister Bozdağ said to CHP MPs, “I gave necessary instructions a short time ago. Can Dündar and Erdem Gül will stay in the same cell”.

Bozdağ also informed CHP Group Deputy Chairman Levent Gök that Gül and Dündar will stay in the same cell.

Dündar and Gül's prison conditions have been drawing criticisms as they have been allegedly "isolated" from outer world living in one-person cells.  (EKN/TK)
