DEM Party MP Serhat Eren submitted a question to the Grand National Assembly on the condition of prisoner Mehmet Sait Yıldırım, who suffered from a heart attack this week.

The Kurdish prisoner has been imprisoned for 33 years after being convicted of PKK membership. His release has been delayed four times now.

Yıldırım has been in prison for 33 years. His conditional release is scheduled for Aug 25 after the latest delay.

"Even if I die here, I will leave with my honor intact. I won’t leave in any other way. Everyone should know that the will of a revolutionary who has dedicated his entire life to the freedom of his people cannot be broken," says Yıldırım.
