Istanbul Police Department, a sprawling complex at the heart of Istanbul, has now become a notorious center for torture and police mistreatment. Last month, authorities fabricated a letter and pinned it on @fevziyazici. They threatened him with his family into a false confession.
@fevziyazici Turkish authorities were aiming to discredit Iran sanctions case in New York. Fevzi withstood the mistreatment and he was then put in solitary confinement, another form of torture.
Now three Turkish police chief, who carried out corruption raids against Reza Zarrab, were taken to Istanbul police department. Kept in a damp, dunk room, they’re being threatened with their families. In a building now used to torture people, they’re being interrogated.
They’re accused of allegedly passing information about the Iran sanctions case and Reza Zarrab to a court in New York. And they’re at the hands of the police who use torture as a tool to get what they want.
