Now her condition is better, but I really don't know what will happen. In these conditions, it is not possible for her to live in prison.

It has already been it has already been enough for her, what she had to go through until now. Today, I will appeal against the decision at the Bakırköy 2nd Magistrates' Court. But as a result of the objection, I do not know what will come out. "
