Ozgur Karakaya, Cihan Gun and Engin Ceber were among a group of people arrested on 28 September 2008 during a demonstration and press conference in Istanbul. A lawyer for the three men told Amnesty International that the men were tortured in detention. On 10 October Engin Ceber died as a result of injuries he sustained while in detention.
