complete report accessed on 19.08.2009; paragraph 28 reads: "Material conditions of detention at Eskişehir Special Type Prison were far removed from the 'coffin-cell' reputation which the establishment had acquired (a reputation which presumably originated from the short period several years ago when the prison operated with single cells - cf. paragraph 19).

The Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (HRFT) has publicly reacted to a letter the CPT sent to the Turkish Government in January 2001. This letter and the response of the HRFT were reproduced by the Germany-based Democratic Turkey Forum as correspondence between HRFT and CPT
