Prisoners at Kırşehir High Security Prison decided not to attend visits between 9 November and 9 December 2026 in protest against prison administration practices. Prisoners said the outdoor exercise period during family visits had been reduced from one and a half hours to one hour and that they were prevented from using common areas such as workshops and the library. Relatives of prisoners said those who objected to the restrictions were subjected to threats, sudden cell raids and searches. The prisoners said they would continue their protest if rights violations persisted.
