Baki Yaş, a 57-year-old Leninist prisoner held at Tekirdağ No. 2 F-Type Prison in Turkey, has returned to his prison cell after being hospitalized following a heart attack on August 6.
Yaş spent approximately 48 hours in intensive care before being discharged. Prison authorities had initially requested his return within 24 hours, but doctors extended his hospital stay.
Yaş has been imprisoned for 32 years. Although he was sentenced to life imprisonment, he would normally have been eligible for release after serving 30 years. He nevertheless remains in prison.
Yaş was a university student at Middle East Technical University (METU) when he was arrested.
