PanARMENIAN.Net - Human rights activist, journalist and translator
Suzan Zengin, who was kept under arrest for nearly two years despite
her chronic health problems, died on October 12 due to her worsening
medical condition after she was released on June 14, Hurriyet Daily
News reported.
"We feel the deep agony of having lost Suzan Zengin. We send our
condolences to her family, acquaintances and her journalist friends,"
read a written statement issued by the Solidarity with Arrested
Journalists Platform (TGDP) following her death.
Zengin received proper treatment after she was released on June 14
this year, but she did not make it through a surgery because her
ailment was too advanced.
Zengin's funeral ceremony will be held today in Istanbul's Tuzla
Aydınlı Cemevi, the TGDP announced.
Zengin was arrested on Aug. 29, 2009 while working at the Worker Farmer
Journal and in the Umut Publishing House's office in Istanbul's Kartal
district. Claims that she was not receiving periodic treatment while
under arrest caused uproar among press organizations.
