Businessman Medeni Arifoglu, who was rewarded by Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2012 for his contributions to Bingöl’s economy, was arrested in the scope of community investigations by taking measures against his assets. His appendix burst in the prison, he was not taken to the infirmary for 3 weeks. He had kidney cancer and because it was not treated, the tumor spread to the whole body, including the neck. Despite an 86% apology report and all efforts, he was not released. During the process that led to his death, which was described by Deputy Omer Faruk Gergerlioglu as “There was a special persecution for him”, his parliamentary questions remained inconclusive. After the delayed release, which took place short before his death, there was no longer any treatment to be applied.
