Meanwhile, conscientious objector Mehmet Tarhan (TK14724) started a hunger strike in protest against the abuse and the prison authorities inactivity related to his safety.
War Resisters' International is extremly concerned about these new developments. It is possible that the three arrested conscientious objectors will be brought to the recruitment office, and from there to their military unit.
