Some of those executives have been taken under custody on more than one occasion.

	Our members who are being taken under custody is kept in difficult circumstances in gyms with ISIS and FETÖ members and being forced to listen marches by the guards and police officers. Even though they say there is no physical torture, people's experiences directs to the opposite of what is being said. Our members and executives have witnessed mothers being threatened with their children. The legislation, who is responsible for safeguarding the prohibition of abuse and torture, should undoubtedly have to investigate these observations."
