ANKARA - 90 percent visually impaired Erol Balcı, who was re-arrested two months after he was released from prison, is unable to meet his personal needs and has difficulty in living.
 
Erol Balcı, who was 90 percent visually impaired, was released from Silivri No. 5 Type L Prison on February 28. He was detained again within the scope of the investigation carried out by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and was arrested on May 3. Balcı, who was detained in different prisons for 6 and a half years on the charge of "being a member of a terrorist organization" in September 2016, was put in Sincan No. 2 Type F Prison on repeated charges.
 
THE PRISONERS CANNOT MEET HIS PERSONAL NEEDS
 
Balcı, who is at risk of losing her sight completely if he cannot continue his treatment outside, is unable to eat, care and clean him. Balcı, who cannot meet his needs such as brushing teeth, shaving, bathing, washing clothes, has difficulty in using the dormitory on the upper floor due to the stairs. Balcı, who has to continue his treatment process in a full-fledged hospital with a regular and balanced diet, is struggling with diseases such as blood pressure, cholesterol and rheumatism. Balcı, who received treatment in İzmir after his release, has to continue his life in telescopic glasses and specially designed spaces.
 
CALL FOR SOLIDARITY
 
At the age of 43, Balcı has artistic articles published in many magazines and newspapers, as well as being a screenwriter. Balcı, who does not have the power to buy telescopic glasses, has difficulty in reading and writing. Balcı, who can hardly read a one-page book in an hour, called on the sensitive public to show solidarity. Balcı appealed to human rights institutions for legal support. Balcı is able to meet his needs with the help of his ward friends.
