CORONAVIRUS IN TURKEY PRISONS

Coronavirus in Turkey Prisons is a joint initiative launched by NGOs in order to monitor and report COVID-19 cases in prisons. Our objective is to share accurate information in a way to ensure that necessary measures are taken as soon as possible and to contribute to safeguarding the right to life.

P.S.: The numbers announced by the Ministry of Justice without indicating prison facility are included in the statistics, but they are not shown on the map since their location is unknown.
