torture

Families of the high school children who were tortured in the police station turn to the Association of Human Rights. They report the crime and the Public Prosecutor starts an investigation.

The Turkish Human Rights Foundation (TIHV) has published its annual report, in which it says that 452 people applied to its centres with claims of torture and maltreatment.

The ECHR has awarded damages to a young man who was tortured while in detention in Diyarbakir in 2002.
