New prisoners will be transferred to the Ýmralý Island prison “in a week to 10 days,” Minister of Justice Sadullah Ergin has announced.

Abdullah Öcalan, the convicted leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, has been the sole inmate on the island since his capture in 1999.

Ergin met journalists at a breakfast and informed them that preparations of the facilities on the island are about to be finished and the transfers will follow shortly. The minister said that the procedure for visiting relatives at Ýmralý is different than at any other prison due to security criteria, so the ministry is working on a new system that will not overly burden the families of the new inmates.

The transfers were delayed by the Istanbul flood disaster because flooded warehouses in the Ambarlý area contained security equipment that was waiting to be sent to Ýmralý Island, Ergin added. Because of this, it was not possible to make the transfers before Ramadan.
