Turkey, the Council of Europe slams' too many children in the prisons'

Peacereporter "In Turkey there are too many children in detention." Parole scritte dal Commissario dei diritti umani del Consiglio d'Europa, Thomas Hammarberg, in due lettere inviate lo scorso giugno ai ministri turchi degli Interni, Besir Atalay, e della Giustizia, Sadullah Ergin.
"Occorre una radicale riforma del sistema penitenziario minorile", ha affermato il Commissario. Nel testo delle due lettere, reso noto solo oggi, Hammarberg esprime la sua forte preoccupazione per la situazione nel sud est della Turchia dove i bambini vengono incriminati, processati e detenuti sulla base dell'attuale legislazione anti-terrorismo. "Tutto ciò non è in linea con gli standard internazionali e europei. La detenzione dei bambini dovrebbe essere una misura eccezionale", sottolinea the Commissioner.

According to Hammarberg the fact that children suffer in Turkey, according to anti-terrorism law, heavy sentences for acts that other countries would be judged as minor offenses raises serious problems that must exist on the proportionality between the punishment and the with this aim that we want to achieve. According to this law in fact, in Turkey, a child may be sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for causing disturbances during demonstrations considered pro-terrorism. According to the letters sent to two ministers at the end of 2009 there were 2,500 children detained in prison, of which only 10 percent has actually been indicted.

"I hope - Concluded the Commissioner - that the proposals for reform of anti-terrorism and their future application will help build a judicial system more suitable for smaller, more focused on education, and alternatives to detention. "

L’articolo 3a, invece, stabilisce quanto segue: “L’omicidio, la mutilazione e la tortura sono crimini against humanity. " Although Turkey has signed the Convention, it violates the front of the whole world.

The turkish army has insulted and mutilated the bodies of Kurdish guerrillas killed in Gumushane, in the provinces of Siirt and Hakakri: the heads were chopped off, eyes pulled out of his head and internal organs to pieces.

Against all this there are also specific provisions in Turkish legislation. Turkey is thus not only violates the Geneva Convention but also the actual law.
