* Turkish citizen beaten to death in Belgium prison. Mikayil Tekin, 31, was detained for quarreling with the traffic police on August 7. The prison administration said he was chocked while eating, but other prisoners displayed disobedience saying he had been tortured.

* The autopsy report of Mikail Tekin, an ethnic Turkish kept in Belgium´s Jamioulx Prison who lost his life last Saturday, lists his cause of death as "physical violence."

* Human rights groups have harshly criticized the poor conditions in Belgian prisons. Some 10,000 detainees and convicts are serving sentences in prisons in which the bed capacity is reported as 8,200.

The prison administration made a statement following the death of 31-year-old Tekin, who was detained on Aug. 7 as a result of a quarrel involving traffic police.

While the prison administration announced the cause of death as "choking while eating," other prisoners protested, claiming that he was subjected to torture while being transported to an isolation cell.

Prosecutors stated that marks of violence had been detected on Tekin´s body following the autopsy report and detained three guards. Prosecutors said the investigation into the case is continuing.

Guards at Jamioulx Prison went on strike yesterday after their three coworkers were detained.

The Belgium Human Rights Foundation (LDH) released its comprehensive annual report earlier this year signaling an increase in human rights violations in the country. Noting that while it speaks out frequently about human rights in other countries.

- Turkish Parliament Demands Explanation on Death in Belgian Prison

The Turkish Parliament has asked the Belgian parliament for detailed information on the death of a Turkish prisoner in Belgium´s Jamioulx Prison last week following the release of an autopsy report listing the cause of death of prisoner Mikail Tekin as "physical violence."

Zafer Uskul, head of Parliament´s Human Rights Commission, sent a letter to the head of the Justice Commission at the Belgian parliament via the Foreign Ministry, the Anatolia news agency reported on Wednesday.

Allegations of the violation of the right to life, which is the most fundamental human right, are saddening, Uskul said in his letter. Asking for information on the authenticity of the allegations, Uskul said they also expected to be informed concerning the judicial action taken to punish those responsible should the allegations prove to be true.

Human rights groups have harshly criticized the poor conditions in Belgian prisons. Some 10,000 detainees and convicts are serving sentences in prisons in which the bed capacity is reported as 8,200.

- OSCE Expert: Guantanamo Better Than Belgian Prisons

"Inmates at Guantanamo Bay prison are treated better than in Belgian jails", an expert for Europe´s biggest security organization said on 6 March 2006 Monday after a visit to the controversial U.S. detention center.

"At the level of the detention facilities, it is a model prison, where people are better treated than in Belgian prisons," said Alain Grignard, deputy head of Brussels´ federal police anti-terrorism unit.

He served as expert on a visit to Guantanamo Bay in 2006 by a group of lawmakers from the assembly of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe´s (OSCE). Grignard´s comments came less than a month after a United Nations report said that Guantanamo prison detainees faced treatment amounting to torture.

you can`t take criticism? are you from Belgium? or are you just defending your fellow christians?

 

what`s your point?

 

you would hear it if a christian was killed in a Turkish prison, but you won`t want to hear it when a Turk gets killed in a christian country, will you?

My point is, offer an opinion or a comment when you reprint an article. Otherwise you leave me to assume you´re just trolling, Tami.

 

And don´t presume you know what I´d rather hear or not hear about.

 I find this comment very discriminatory.  It´s not funny and I am extremely offended by it.  I know you probably don´t care how insulting this is and maybe in your view, you feel GG deserved it, but teasing a woman about menopause (whether she is going thru it or not) is like teasing a man about erectile disfunction (whether he has it or not).  I don´t think we want to go there.   This just isn´t cool or gentlemanly.
