Human Rights Violation Allegations at Şakran Women's Prison

Inmates at Şakran Women's Closed Prison are reportedly being forced to wear identification badges around their necks inscribed with the crimes they were convicted of. According to a report by Cumhuriyet, it remains unclear whether the practice stems from a circular issued by the Ministry of Justice or from an arbitrary decision by prison management. The practice has drawn criticism as a violation of human rights and human dignity. No official statement has yet been made on the matter.
