(1.9) Torture in interrogation centers and prisons After the coup, innocent people who were arrested in public movements against the military dictatorship were forcibly taken to interrogation centers by soldiers without legal action and were subjected to many tortures. The statements of those who have been released and the wounds that remain on their bodies are strong evidence of the brutally torture in the interrogation centers. “Recently, if they have arrested a young man for doing guerrilla strikes, without taking remands in their prison courts according to the law, at first and opening a case, they will conduct this investigation. The relevant inquiry was called first. Last a minimum of (7) days from a week and a maximum of (15) days; up to a month. Depending on how important is the person they captured? And which networks they are connected to. The main point is to be able to chase other related people. Therefore, there are also comrades who died during the interrogation. If they don’t fall, they get various injuries,” said a member of the strike committee, which is organizing the urban guerrilla strikes, in an interview. People who are arrested for any crime can legally hire a lawyer to face their case, but after the coup d’état, the terrorist army illegally arrests and imprisons them, tortures and interrogations that do not match the procedures, as well as executions and killings. “When I went to help those who were arrested, I saw in sight that they tortured many of them. In fact, the expression ``torture’’ is the only one I can use. In other words, they are doing it to kill those people gradually and effectively. Torturing is the process of killing them.” More than brutally arrested, put in jail and systematic physical and psychological torture, what we have found out is the people were subjected to sexual violence as well. “I was arrested during the usual protest. At the time of arrest... I would say that when I was at the interrogation center, no water was given. Let me starve. Finally, I was asked the question until I was completely thirsty. Then they hit me with these strings. The back is torn. And these hands are smeared with knives, of course. I kept yelling. The second time at the interrogation center was after my house was robbed. At the center, I was beaten because I did not answer the questions asked by these guys. I was beaten with the ropes. There was a stabbing. And there was a coax that is, if I reveal someone who is in our network, I would be given a year’s sentence off from them. But for not doing this, I was beaten again with a rope. Then they point a gun to me and made it look like about to shoot. And then there is the point-and-shoot with a gun without a bullet. This kind of thing is done by the terrorist army,” said a young man who personally encountered it during the interrogation and continues to participate in urban guerrilla strikes. 10
