Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç made a statement on his social media account regarding the health status of İBB Deputy Secretary General Mahir Polat, who is detained in Silivri.

Tunç stated in his post on X regarding Polat, "Speculative shares and claims regarding the health status of İBB Deputy Secretary General Mahir Polat, who is detained as part of the investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, have been brought to the agenda. The detained Mahir Polat, who was first intervened at the institution's polyclinic due to health complaints on March 29, 2025, and then underwent all necessary examinations and treatments by specialist doctors at Mehmet Akif Ersoy Chest Heart and Vascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital, is being closely monitored by doctors regarding his health status. During this process, the detainee, who was discharged from the hospital upon the doctors' approval, continues to receive health checks and medication treatment at the Marmara Closed Penal Institution.

"CHECKS ARE BEING CARRIED OUT WITHOUT FAIL"

The mentioned detainee has been transferred to the hospital in the Marmara Penal Institutions Campus for the assessment of his health status as of today, and it has been decided to transfer him to the Forensic Medicine Institution based on the Health Board Decision taken after the examinations conducted here.

Throughout all these processes, all checks of the detainee are being carried out without fail in accordance with the reports of the doctors conducting his treatment. Claims to the contrary do not reflect the truth. It should be emphasized that the access of all detainees and convicts in penal institutions to health services is meticulously ensured within the framework of legal guarantees. There is no negligence or delay in this regard," it was stated.
