Tbilisi, August 7, Interfax - About 150 citizens of Georgia, who are convicted to imprisonment for various crimes in Turkey, announced a hunger strike in Istanbul prison, Rustavi-2 reported on Saturday.
According to the TV channel, relatives of the Georgian prisoners said the reason for the hunger strike was unbearable conditions of imprisonment.
The relatives said they demanded Georgian authorities to pay attention to the conditions of Georgian citizens in Turkish prisons and extend them help.
Among the demands of the imprisoned Georgian citizens is to set up a corner for Orthodox prayers.
TV channel also reported that they complained of rude attitude of the prison staff and poor quality of food.
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
