Omer Faruk Gergerlioglu, a Turkish doctor and MP with the opposition Peoples’ Democracy Party (HDP) has affirmed that Turkish regime hides the real number of Coronavirus infections inside jails with the aim of not being forced to release the detainees.
The Turkish “Zaman” newspaper quoted the MP as saying that the last announcement on the number of Coronavirus infections inside jails was made in June, while there is information about remarkable increase in the number of infections there.
One of the detainees was quarantined inside a jail and after a few hours died of the virus.
The number of Coronavirus infections in Turkey has reached 289.635.
