Turkey jailed a international delegation coming to investigate tortures on prisons.
She was detained yesterday morning, February 19, along with the other five members of an international delegation that had arrived in Turkey to denounce the abuses of the Turkish prison system.
It is worth remembering that Alejandra Matamoros is a lawyer for Pablo Hasél (catalá rapper) and other political prisoners in the Spanish State; likewise, she is a militant in the Anti-Repression Platform of Barcelona.
Due to her commitment to justice, Matamoros has been in the crosshairs of the Spanish regime in recent years. And it is that combating the brutality of the violence of the Spanish State and its repressive apparatuses does not come free, no matter how much "democratic" garb and defender of "human rights" said State drapes itself in.
According to information from the IS4PP collective (International Solidarity with Political Prisoners), the delegation of international observers was composed of five people — lawyers, journalists, and human rights activists. They had arrived in Turkey with the purpose of inspecting the new high-security "pit-type" prison models. These penitentiary facilities are a tool of torture for the Turkish regime against political prisoners, such as the communist prisoners of the MLKP or the DHKP/C, and have been denounced by various human rights organizations.
As it has been learned, Alejandra Matamoros and the rest of the delegation were detained after a meeting with the People's Legal Bureau in the city of Ankara. Until this Thursday, the Turkish repressive forces held the delegation retained, awaiting deportation. "This action constitutes a direct attack against the right to legal defense, freedom of information, and internationalist solidarity," denounced the Anti-Repression Platform of Barcelona in a statement.
It should be underscored that a few weeks ago, Alejandra Matamoros participated, along with a militant of the Anti-Imperialist Front and the spokesperson of Palestine Action, in an event in Barcelona organized by the Anti-Repression Platform of Barcelona and Samidoun regarding the resistance and struggle of political prisoners.
