Description:

COVID-19 pandemic: A prison riot occurs in Batman, Turkey, after the release of 100,000 inmates, but not journalists and political prisoners, many of whom are Kurds.[60] The government announces 10 days later that one-third of its prisoners will be freed due to COVID-19. Of these prisoners, at least 45,000 will be freed until the end of May except for those accused of terrorist offenses and of plotting the 2016 coup attempt.[
