The 5th of August 2016 a teacher died died in detention (he was in detention waiting pretrial for 14 days!!). Allegedly he was a member of FETO. He was a diabetic patient. He was not allowed to see his family or to have any contact( phone call etc) during the 14-day detention period. Much more terrible, the Istanbul municipality does not allow family to bury him in a cemetery. The state is not sending a priest for his funeral ceremony. They just say take the dead body!!!!.
