Two more hunger strikers die
Two further Turkish death fasters have succumbed in the past week. Hunger-striking prisoner Ibrahim Erler died after 132 days of hunger strike. He set himself on fire in protest at a police attack on the funeral of fellow death faster Ümüs Sahingöz on Saturday, 15 September. He was brought to hospital in a critical condition and died later in hospital.
Abdulbari Yusufoglu (pictured), also died at the weekend, the 35th hunger striker to die in the protest against F-Type prisons that has been ongoing since late last year.
