Yahnici Sends Letter To Ecevit Calling For Ocalan To Be Transferred To F Type Prison

ANKARA - Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Deputy Chairman Sevket Bulent Yahnici sent a letter to Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit and wanted necessary normal convict status to be prepared for Abdullah Ocalan, the head of the terrorist organization, to be transferred to F type prison so that he would not be able to make media statements and administer the terrorist organization.
Yahnici sent a letter to Ecevit and conveyed his reaction against the statements made to media by Ocalan with the capacity of KADEK leader. Yahnici said Ocalan, who escaped from capital punishment ''for the time being'' as EU adjustment bill abolished death sentence, communicated easily from the prison with his supporters.
Yahnici said Ocalan gave orders to his supporters, and made statements to the press, adding that, ''besides, he makes those as the leader of KADEK, which was set up instead of PKK.''
Yahnici's letter said, ''former Justice Minister Hikmet Sami Turk, while harshly opposing to the transfer from Imrali to F type prison, mentioned from security and his being a convict having special position. Does this 'speciality' and 'security' include his communication with outside, his making statements to press, and his administering KADEK organization as the leader?''
Yahnici said what a convict may do are being included in Justice Ministry regulations and execution law, noting that no convict has the right to administer an illegal organization from prison. ''However, the information and the documents state the contrary. If this information and documents are right, it means the concerned person makes policy freely. The policy he makes is an attack against sovereignty rights of Turkish Republic. Wasn't his punishment a response to what he has done?''
Yahnici said, ''I know that your sensitivity against the issue will be big. At least, I hope you will join the sensitivity of Turkish people to provide necessary status for a normal convict implementation that he would not have connection with outside, could not administer the organization, and make media statement.''
