Man jailed over Gülen links dies as result of poor medical care in prison
By TM -October 18, 2018
Mehmet Özbir, 41, on Tuesday died of a cancer that developed when he was in pretrial detention over Gülen links and which caused his health to deteriorate significantly due to a lack of medical care in prison, the tr724 news website reported.
Özbir was arrested in August 2016 as part of a crackdown on the Gülen movement after a coup attempt in 2016 and was jailed for more than 16 months in Manisa on terrorism charges.
He was diagnosed with cancer while in prison but reportedly did not receive proper treatment, which eventually led to the amputation of his arm. As his situation later worsened, a court ordered his release pending trial.

Well, if Khashoggi was tortured and killed, very wrong.... but the point remains, that there have been other cases where people jailed over that so-called coup in Tukey have suffered in this manner. This isn't the first case.
