Dutchman ‘forgotten’ in Turkish prison
İsmail Saymaz ISTANBUL - Radikal
A Dutch citizen has been under arrest in Turkey for two and a half years and is awaiting a bureaucratic decision.
Jamal Sahami was detained at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport in 2011, after an arrest warrant had been issued on his name due to an offense he allegedly committed at the age of 17. Sahami, who was on his way to return to the Netherlands back then, was “temporarily” kept in Turkey before being deported to the Netherlands, but is in Istanbul’s Maltepe Prison because the decision is yet to be signed by the Cabinet.
