“The right to life is sacred”

One of the relatives of prisoners, Herdem Mervani made a speech and said that they have held their Justice Watch for months; however, no one has paid attention to their demands. “We have shouted our demands for 10 months but there has been no response to our demands. Everyone, particularly political parties, have left us alone. Yes, we are tired, but this does not mean that we will not express our demands. Our only demand is the release of sick prisoners. Everyone knows that our demand is the right demand. The right to life is sacred.”
