A new report documents widespread rights violations in prisons across Turkey's Marmara region.
The Human Rights Association (İHD) announced its findings this week. It recorded a total of 1,326 specific violations.
A major issue highlighted was the obstruction of access to justice. The report states that this fundamental right was systematically blocked for many inmates.
The Marmara region includes Istanbul and is Turkey's most populous area. The İHD's report suggests serious systemic problems within its prison facilities.
No official government response to the report has been issued yet. Prison conditions and judicial access remain key topics for human rights monitors in Turkey.
