This report contains numerous cases of torture and ill-treatment in Turkey, committed by the police. The victims include people suspected of pro-Kurdish, Islamist or leftist activities, or suspected of involvement in protests against new “F-Type” prisons, corruption or criminal offences. Reports received confirm that people – among them many children – are still regularly beaten in detention; and in some cases, torture is linked to discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation or ethnicity.
