It was learned that a disciplinary investigation was initiated by the Sincan Women's Closed Prison administration against Yeni Party Manisa Provincial Chairman İlksen Özalper, who was arrested in August within the scope of the "profitable criminal organization" and "bribery" investigation carried out by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.
According to the news in T23; Explaining that he was kept waiting for a long time in the SEGBİS room in the prison for a lawyer's opinion, that he had a panic attack during this time, and that his request for help was not responded to by prison officials and guards, İlksen Özalper said, "Even though I had a panic attack for more than an hour, I was neither taken out of the place nor any medical intervention was given. The person whose name I learned was Ali, shouted from the door, 'What are you shouting!' I said, 'I'm not shouting, I'm having a panic attack. Why doesn't anyone understand?'" Again, I was shouting and arrogant. "If you had a panic attack, you shouldn't have committed a crime and come here," he said. "I lost my calm again and said, 'I'm not here because I committed a crime. I'm here because I'm Özgür Özel's friend. I'm not an AKP sycophant like you, but I'm here because I'm fighting so that your child doesn't go to bed hungry.'"
However, Özalper, who stated that he received the disciplinary investigation document initiated against him three days after this incident, said, "A fiction was created as if I had caused a scene by shouting 'I am Özgür Özel's friend' for no reason. I could have suffered a brain hemorrhage there, I could have had a heart attack. Even in this case, they would not have helped. Warden Candaş Orhan Akdemir announced that he would file a criminal complaint, saying that he is a director who constantly oppresses the prisoners in Sincan Women's Closed Prison and is famous for his arbitrary practices."
HE WAS ARRESTED ON 5 AUGUST
Yeni Party Manisa Provincial Chairman İlksen Özalper was arrested within the scope of the criminal organization and bribery investigation carried out by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. İlksen Özalper, who was detained on August 5 and taken to Ankara, was transferred to Sincan Women's Closed Prison after her arrest.
It was reported that the investigation was carried out in line with the statements given by the suspended Uşak Mayor Özkan Yalım within the scope of the effective repentance provisions, MASAK reports and HTS records.
It was learned that a disciplinary investigation was initiated by the prison administration against İlksen Özalper, who has been held in prison for approximately two months. İlksen Özalper, who wrote a letter on the issue, stated that she would file a criminal complaint against the prison director.
'I HAD A PANIC ATTACK FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, THERE WAS NO INTERVENTION'
The letter of the detained Yeni Party Manisa Provincial Chairman İlksen Özalper is as follows:
"On October 27, 2026, around 14.30, I started to meet with Lawyer Nergiz Görnaz. Then, around 15.00-15.30, I was called to the SEGBİS room for the detention review. My lawyer left, stating that he would come back after the SEGBİS. I was also taken to the SEGBİS room. Before the detention review hearing, I was kept in a closed area in the SEGBİS room for a very long time. Later, after the hearing, lawyer number 5 I was brought to the interview booth. At around 16.50, Lawyer Nergiz Görnaz came to me again. We talked for about 10 minutes. Since I was told that other lawyers were waiting to meet with me, I was left in the interview booth. After being kept waiting for about 20 minutes, I felt like I was about to have a panic attack.
I have been suffering from panic attacks for about a year, this situation is within the knowledge of the prison and for this reason I use the drug called Prozac. Lawyer's booth number 5 is usually located in a remote corner, in a blind spot, where officers are not present. When I started having a panic attack, I knocked on the windows so that the prison guards could hear me. Since no one came (since there was no emergency call button on the prisoner's side), I had to jump over the table to the lawyer's side and pressed the button, then returned to my old place. After pressing the button, the officer came, I tried to remain calm and told him that I was having a panic attack and that I wanted to be taken out of here. The officer said, 'Your lawyers will arrive in 2 minutes.' I said, "I can't afford to see a lawyer, just get me out of here." He said 'Okay' but closed the door on me again and left. I'm not sure, but after about 10 minutes, I was completely out of breath and tried to breathe in short gasps. I went back to the other side of the table, pressed the button, and returned to my place.
On the one hand, I was trying to make the emergency call sign with my hand, trying to get into the angle of the camera outside the cabin. The officer came again after the button and said, "Your lawyers are coming." Lying on the table and screaming, I said, "That's enough, I don't want a lawyer, I want an ambulance, aren't you human, get me out of here." The officer closed the door again and left, then came back with 2 people I did not know (I assume one of them was the shift manager). When they arrived, I was struggling to breathe on the table. One of the officers tried to calm me down in good faith and held my hands. I said, 'Put your cameras on'. Only then did it occur to them to even give them a glass of water.
While I was trying to catch my breath and calm down, the person whose name I learned was Ali (Probably Ali Demir) shouted from the door, 'What are you shouting!' 'I'm not screaming, I'm having a panic attack. I said, 'Why doesn't anyone understand?' He again shouted and said in a cocky manner, "If you had a panic attack, you shouldn't have committed a crime and come here." I lost my calm again and said, 'I am not here because I committed a crime. I am here because I am Özgür Özel's friend. I'm here because I'm not an AKP sycophant like you, but because I fight so that your child doesn't go to bed hungry. Just like the FETO members in the Ergenekon and Sledgehammer cases, when the day comes, I will hold you accountable for what you said. I will stop this cruelty. I said, 'I will complain about you to all the newspapers and everywhere I can tomorrow.'
I looked at the time and it was 18.15. Even though I had a panic attack for more than an hour, I was neither removed from my location nor received any medical intervention. You were not asked if you needed anything. At that moment, I was able to catch my breath a little. The lawyers came, I couldn't speak, I was still crying.
In the morning hours of October 30, 2026, the attached disciplinary investigation document was given to me. This document is completely manipulative, full of incomplete and incorrect information. A fiction was created as if I caused a scene by shouting 'I am Özgür Özel's friend' for no reason. The incident is as I explained above.
I can't even get angry at the staff who didn't come and open the door. Because I think they are confused about what to do because of the rules set by the manager Candaş Orhan Akdemir. There is no such thing as emergency crisis management in prison because they are constantly getting written down. I could have had a brain hemorrhage there, I could have had a heart attack. Even in this case, they would not bring help.
Candaş Orhan Akdemir is a director of the Sincan Women's Closed Prison who constantly oppresses the prisoners and is notorious for his arbitrary practices. Many requests and letters were sent to me by both prisoners and guards. 'Save us from the red devil'. "There has been news about this principal many times, and parliamentary questions have been submitted."
