After the arrest of Reina terrorist, Turkish Police achieved a bigger success against a mother with five little children
Main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) lawmaker Mahmut Tanal has said a woman who went to visit her jailed husband at Sincan Prison in Ankara has been detained by police while five of her children were beside her. (source for the incident: hurriyetdailynews.com)
Tanal, who is also a member of Turkey’s Human Rights Commission, said he has met with officials from Sincan police station and stressed that the woman’s children should be with her while she is under police surveillance.
“Leaving these children alone like this is not suitable either for the convention on the rights of children or legal provisions. We will monitor this case. The necessary steps should be taken immediately to prevent the victimization of these children,” he said in a written statement after watching a video of the incident.

“Our most significant priority is the running of the law. But leaving five children alone, especially when one of them is ill, due to the detention of their mother, is utterly inconceivable according to conscience and the law. The images show a humanitarian plight,” Tanal added.
In few days Greece’s Supreme Court will deliver its verdict on whether or not to extradite the eight Turkish soldiers who fled to Greece in a helicopter after a failed military coup in July.
The incident with the five little children shows clear that, if the Turkish soldiers will be extradited, they will return to a country where justice and state humanism suffer a serious crisis, much more serious than the Greek financial crisis.
